Los Angeles, CA - Today, singer-songwriter Daniel Arison unveils his latest single, “I Used To Say,” a raw and moving track that reflects on promises left unfulfilled, love that slipped away, and the haunting ache of words that can never be taken back. "This is for the ones who never got their happy ending," says Daniel, capturing the essence of the song’s lyrical core.
Opening with lines that set the tone; “You never got your happy ending, you never got the fairytale, cause I went away” Daniel immediately invites listeners into a story of loss and longing. The verses acknowledge broken promises and a love that deserved more, while the chorus circles back to the refrain that gives the song its name: “I used to say that we’d make it by the time we’re older… I used to say that we’re meant to be, but now it’s over.”
Co-written by Daniel, "i used to say" swells with vulnerability, layering delicate melodies over his emotive vocals. The pre-chorus lifts into near-spiritual imagery, “You’re from the heavens, I can swear I see your halo. How do I let this go?” before the chorus comes crashing in with its devastating confession: words alone could never hold back the inevitable.
The new single follows Daniel’s last release, “Selfish” featuring Leah Kate, which has already amassed more than 1 million streams and views across all platforms. As an independent artist, Daniel continues to carve out his own lane in pop and alt-pop, consistently proving his ability to connect with audiences worldwide. With his catalog now surpassing 2.5 million streams on Spotify alone, not counting music videos or other platforms, he has solidified his reputation as a rising indie force with staying power.
For Daniel, "i used to say" is both a deeply personal release and a universal anthem for anyone who has wrestled with regret and the reality of walking away. It follows his signature songwriting style: unfiltered, narrative-driven, and anchored in emotional truth.
