Shards newest single, “Brought Me Here,” is a deep dive into the aftermath of a breakup, an afterglow, one where your mind keeps returning to every detail like a broken record. Shards captures that universal moment when heart and head are so overwhelmed that they have to overthink everything, when every memory is a question, and every feeling a decision.
What distinguishes “Brought Me Here” is the way Shards tells the story from a woman’s point of view. And then there's the emotional tension brilliantly expressed by the pre-chorus line, “Am I Right? Are You Wrong?” It’s a smart, raw snapshot of that push-pull many women know well, of where the logic meets emotions and sometimes you can get someone to admit they’re wrong even if you know you are right. It is a small moment, but it lands like a truth you never knew you were waiting for.
It isn’t lost on Shards that George Michael, his favorite artist of all time, seeps in through the seams, whether it’s in the track’s emotional depth or its lack of veneer. “Brought Me Here” isn’t only a breakup song but also a situation reached, a question asked and held lightly, with healing beginning the moment you decide whether to hold on or let go. In an era of fast, ephemeral singles, Shards serves up the genuine article: a song that feels like you’re speaking with yourself — honest, vulnerable and deeply human.
