Singaporean singer Iman Fandi showcases a refreshed artistic direction with her single “IT IS,” which is currently available for streaming on all major digital music platforms worldwide.
Driven by a vibrant and unapologetic energy, “IT IS” stands as a powerful anthem for female empowerment. The track emphasizes that true worth is proven through actions rather than empty promises, capturing the mindset of a woman who fully embraces her power without compromising or settling for less.
Drawing from personal life experiences, Iman notes that the track’s message of confidence also serves as a playful nod to curious listeners. “This is something I have personally learned throughout my life,” Iman shares. “While the song’s message is rooted in confidence and self-possession, it also carries a playful nod to the people who always ask, ‘Is this song about me?’ The answer is part mystery, part mischief: if you think it is about you, maybe it is.”
This bold, sharp edge gives the single its definitive punch. By saying precisely what is necessary without any extra filler, the track operates as an intentional manifesto—offering a thrilling preview of the daring artist Iman Fandi is evolving into.
This release crowns a monumental year for Iman, who began 2026 as an independent artist following her departure from Universal Music. After drawing massive crowds at Light to Night and the Kallang Countdown, she made history with a halftime performance at the AFC Asian Cup match between Singapore and Bangladesh. The stadium show held profound personal significance for the singer; as the daughter of local football icon Fandi Ahmad, the performance allowed her to celebrate her family’s deep-rooted sports and cultural legacy on the national stage.
Ahead of her recent release, Iman collaborated with P-pop acts KAIA and RAMONA (the musical persona of actress Andrea Brillantes, who transitioned into a singer-songwriter earlier this year). After connecting at the NBA Rising Stars Invitational in Singapore, the artists rolled out a series of collaborative TikTok videos last August. This blueprint followed the exact promotional track Iman used domestically, having built pre-release buzz through social media content with fellow National Day Parade alumni Jasmine Sokko and Gareth Fernandez.
The track was initially previewed in July at the reopening of Zouk, Singapore’s landmark nightlife venue, ahead of Iman’s major appearance at the National Day Parade. There, she performed “Giants” before 42,000 spectators at the National Stadium and a nationwide television audience. This high-octane promotional run continued through her official release window, highlighted by her first-ever performance at the Singapore Indoor Stadium at the end of August. She is currently sustaining that buzz with an ongoing school tour bringing “IT IS” directly to students across the country.
Fully independent and calling the shots, Iman is actively shaping her new musical era. “IT IS” rounds out a 2026 release slate that already includes “Tip Toes” and “Out Of My Mind,” setting the stage for her next big milestone: her debut independent EP, Afterglow.
