Two months after he released "Yoko Na," SB19's Josh Cullen is back with a new track titled "Sumaya" under Sony Music Entertainment.

According to Josh, "Sumaya" is an R&B track that expresses the painful truths of a relationship aftermath. The lyrics tackle the bittersweet feeling of parting ways and recalling a once-real love.

"'Sumaya' is about the heart-wrenching journey of accepting that it's time to let go of someone and the memories you've shared. It's a song that delves into the pain and sadness of moving on while still cherishing the good times you had together,” Josh explained.

The song is "very personal and emotional" for Josh and his co-producer Kael, who helped him write the track, as they drew inspiration from their own life experiences and memories.

“Kael and Tribute are real gems in this industry, and their combined efforts helped achieve a sound that is haunting and melancholic, perfectly matching the theme of letting go and the sorrow that comes with it,” the SB19's lead rapper and vocalist said.

Josh also talked about the music video, where he can be seen returning to a moment when life was full of love, but eventually finds that everything is an illusion.

“In the music video for 'Sumaya,' I wake up in a house filled with the most important memories of my life, memories of someone I love deeply. As I touch these objects, they start to disintegrate, and I realize it's because of me. As I continue, I find myself shifting between reality and the void, struggling to escape the overwhelming chaos and emotions happening all at once. I don't ever want to forget these memories, yet I know I have to accept and release what I can't control,” he shared.

"Sumaya" is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide.
