Dandelion Returns with Intimate New Single “ONONON”

Dandelion, songwriter and producer from Stockholm, opens a new chapter in her musical career with the new single “ONONON”. The song will be officially released on August 21, 2026 via EMI Nordic / Universal Music and serves as the first single from her upcoming debut album, My Sadness Needs Your Full Attention.

“ONONON” explores the complex emotions that arise after a breakup – particularly the emotional dependency and denial that can characterize the time after love has ended. With lyrics and music created together with co-producer Wille Enblad, the song gains a raw and intimate expression. The collaboration has resulted in a work that invites the listener to dwell in those moments when the heart clings to something that is already over, confronting the fear of letting go.

Musically, “ONONON” is characterized by melodic synths and emotionally charged vocal lines, and is often compared to early works by Scandinavian pop icons like Tove Lo and Lykke Li. Dandelion blends a contemporary pop feel with a melancholy shimmer, clearly demonstrating her ability to convey difficult emotional states within the framework of pop music. Her capability to portray emotional dependency and vulnerability lends the song an honesty that strikes deep.

Raised in Stockholm in a home marked by turbulence and mental illness, Dandelion has drawn much of her artistry from her life experiences. For her, the studio is more than just a workplace – it’s a sanctuary where she explores themes such as heartbreak syndrome, impostor syndrome, and the longing for belonging. These motifs run as a red thread through her songwriting, giving the music its distinctive character and authenticity.

Before stepping into the spotlight as Dandelion, she wrote songs for international artists such as Bebe Rexha, Katy Perry, and Griff. She has also collaborated with well-known producers, including Max Martin, The Struts, Johan Carlsson, Vincent Pontare, Salem Al Fakir, and Jocke Åhlund from Teddybears. These experiences have polished her pop craftsmanship and laid a foundation of both sophistication and directness in her solo material.

As the first taste from the debut album, “ONONON” showcases Dandelion’s strengths as both songwriter and producer, emphasizing her desire to explore difficult emotional states. With every note, she invites the listener to face uncomfortable truths and transform personal storms into universal pop moments.

The release of “ONONON” introduces Dandelion’s intimate artistry to a broader audience and paves the way for a debut album charged with exploration of emotional complexity. The single is available on major streaming platforms and serves as a landmark towards My Sadness Needs Your Full Attention, an album where Dandelion continues to portray human emotions from her unique musical perspective.
