Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — February 6, 2026 — Rising R&B artist FERHAD officially steps into the spotlight with the release of his debut single, “CONTROL.” Blending emotional vulnerability with undeniable self-assurance, the track marks the beginning of a bold new voice emerging from Malaysia’s growing R&B scene.

Influenced by artists such as RINI, Keshi, Daniel Caesar, Giveon, and Brent Faiyaz, FERHAD delivers a sound that feels intimate, atmospheric, and deeply personal. “CONTROL” captures the emotional aftermath of being left behind — and the internal battle that follows when that same person tries to return.

At its core, the song is about emotional conflict. It speaks to the frustration of loving someone who hurt you, while also recognizing that repeating the same cycle would only lead to more pain. Rather than surrendering to nostalgia, FERHAD chooses clarity. He chooses growth. He chooses himself.

“I wrote this song from a place of frustration, but also empowerment,” FERHAD shares. “It’s about still having feelings for someone who hurt you, but realizing that taking them back would only reopen old wounds. ‘CONTROL’ is about understanding that sometimes the most powerful move is walking away.”

Sonically, “CONTROL” weaves smooth, introspective R&B melodies with raw emotional tension. The production mirrors the push-and-pull of heartbreak — soft and reflective one moment, firm and resolute the next. FERHAD’s vocal delivery carries both ache and authority, creating a track that feels like a late-night confession wrapped in quiet confidence.

For FERHAD, this release represents more than just a single — it’s a personal breakthrough.

“It’s been a long time coming,” he admits. “I’ve wanted to release my own original music for years but never took that step. My friends and family have been waiting on this moment. ‘CONTROL’ isn’t just about a relationship — it’s about me finally stepping into who I am as an artist and sharing my truth.”

The track also speaks to a universal experience: being left for someone else, only to watch that new relationship fall apart. Instead of reopening the door, FERHAD stands firm in self-worth.

“This song is for anyone who’s ever been left behind and then expected to be a second option,” he adds. “It’s about knowing your value and refusing to let your past dictate your future. It’s not easy — but sometimes you have to take control of your emotions before they control you.”

With “CONTROL,” FERHAD introduces himself not only as a vocalist, but as a storyteller. His music lives in the space between heartbreak and healing — offering a voice for those who have felt overlooked, underestimated, or emotionally tested.

“CONTROL” will be available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music.
