Welcome

Release Date: June 13, 2025

Language: English

Genre: Soul Pop

Chaylin’s fourth release, “Welcome,” is a soulful, R&B-infused pop ballad about return, remembrance, and a love that endured through time.

Built on smooth R&B grooves and intimate vocals, the song follows emotions that remain quietly present across distance and change. Its imagery of familiar heartbeats, bending time, and finding one’s way home captures the pull of a connection that was never entirely lost.

Rather than reaching for dramatic closure, “Welcome” holds space for memory, patience, and reunion. Its gentle strength reflects a love weathered by time yet still capable of opening a new beginning.

As the fourth chapter in the Chaylin Pop Universe, “Welcome” expands Chaylin’s storytelling into a more cinematic and mythic direction, laying the emotional foundation for the Lumenis universe and its story of fire, water, separation, and return.

Cover art for Chaylin’s single “Welcome,” featuring her looking back in a red-and-white outfit against a purple background with a glowing circular time motif.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You know it’s been ages since I’ve seen your shiny smile

Each day feels like decades when you’re away, not around

Come on, a little bit closer

Let me hear my favorite sound

[Pre-chorus]

You, ooh

You found me at the wrong time

You, ooh

Now can we make it right?

[Chorus]

You say, “Hey, hey, hey”

I know I’m feeling welcome

You say, “Hey, hey, hey”

You make me feel so welcome

Ooh ooh ooh

[Verse 2]

Do you still remember all the good times that we shared?

Searching for a feeling, I found nothing can compare

Come on, tell me you still care

Don’t you ever leave again

[Pre-chorus]

You, ooh

You found me at the wrong time

You, ooh

Now can we make it right?

[Chorus]

You say, “Hey, hey, hey”

I know I’m feeling welcome

You say, “Hey, hey, hey”

You make me feel so welcome

Ooh ooh ooh

[Bridge]

Life is wild, I can’t deny

Enjoy this ride, laugh and cry

One more time, I won’t hide

You and I, back to paradise

(Welcome back to my life, welcome back)

(Welcome back to my life, welcome)

(Welcome back to my life, welcome back)

(Welcome back to my life, welcome)

(Welcome back to my life, welcome back)

(Welcome back to my life, welcome)

[Outro]

You say, “Hey, hey, hey”

I know I’m feeling welcome

You make me feel so welcome
