Karencici previews her June album with English-Mandarin single If I Had
GLOBAL Mandopop artiste Karencici has announced her upcoming album Loser., which is scheduled for release in June.
The album is led by the single If I Had, now available for streaming. The track gives listeners an early look at the album’s sound, moving from Karencici’s R&B roots towards alt-rock and pop.
Written in English and Mandarin, If I Had is a mid-tempo track built on deep grooves and live-sounding textures. The song centres on looking back at past relationships and accepting the present rather than trying to change what has already happened.
In the song, Karencici sings, “If I had two lives to figure out.”
Speaking about the track, she said, “It’s about missing the past, but more than that, it’s about the purest form of love: even if we knew the ending, we’d still choose to love them all over again.”
The lyrics also include the lines “I just wanna be right here” and “I need you now”, reflecting the song’s focus on holding on to the person in front of you.
The music video follows a similar theme. Its background actors represent different traits and past relationships that have ended, with each character serving as a memory. The video asks whether someone would still choose the same relationship if time could begin again.
Loser. is expected to mark a broader change in Karencici’s sound and image, with the album moving across alt-rock and alt-pop. If I Had introduces the album’s themes before the full project is released.
