We’ve all had those nights where the only way to deal with a heavy heart is to turn the music up as loud as it can go. NEODYM captures that exact feeling in her latest single “To the Once.” The artist who is originally from Poland and currently lives in Germany has always had a knack for making music that feels both High tech and human at the same time.
With the release of To The Once’s, Neodym proves that not only does she make music suitable for the dance floor, but she also makes songs suitable for the soul. The type of song that tightens your chest and refuses to let go. Dark, glowing, and full of feeling, the song lives in that fragile space where heartbreak turns into strength and vulnerability becomes a form of freedom.
“To The Once” is part of NEODYM’s sophomore album, Ero-Dance, released earlier this summer, and it feels like an important step forward in her artistic journey.
The song begins with a very honest line: “Oh, I’m not myself tonight” and immediately, you feel like you’re sitting in the passenger seat of her life. It’s a vulnerable song and a bit moody but it doesn’t stay sad for long and as the beat builds, you can feel the energy shifting.
What starts as a quiet confession turns into a massive, cinematic sound. The production is a blend of EDM, Pop, and deep house so smoothly that it feels natural. It’s in fact the type of song that stays stuck to your head and eventually takes over your entire body.
As the song moves into the pre-chorus, that tension grows. There’s a clear sense of reaching a limit, of heart and soul being pushed just a little too far. Then the chorus arrives, and everything opens up. “Raise a glass and make a toast / To the once’s we hate the most” feels less like a lyric and more like a shared moment. It transforms a personal painful experience into something collective —a ritual of release rather than resentment. This isn’t about holding onto anger; it’s about taking your power back.
Musically, “To the Once” balances emotions and scale perfectly. It starts small and personal, then suddenly feels massive and euphoric, without ever losing its emotional core. It’s the kind of track that fills a space while still feeling deeply personal.
If there’s one thing really unique and special about this song, it’s how well it fits into the emotional climate of this present time. With conversations around mental health and emotional exhaustion becoming more present than ever, “To The Once” feels timely and relatable. It understands the chaos of late nights, louder music, and stronger feelings—and offers a release from that cycle. NEODYM doesn’t avoid pain; she faces it head-on and turns it into something that moves both the body and the heart.
In a world where everyone is stressed and “Therapy” is the biggest buzzword on social media, this song feels like a much-needed emotional release.
