Paris WYA Confronts the Ghost of First Love on New Single “Treat Me Right”

Los Angeles, CA – Paris WYA, an emerging global one-to-watch, has released her newest magnetic single, “Treat Me Right.” A harrowingly complex track detailing the heartbreak of missing someone who doesn’t love the way they should, “Treat Me Right,” and its accompanying lyric visualizer, are now available on all major streaming platforms.

A love letter to the ghost of what could have been, “Treat Me Right” earnestly combines soft acoustic guitar with synth percussive elements to accentuate Paris WYA’s underlying desire for reconciliation. Striking bass drums beautifully underscore her tentative vocals, while a vibrant bass line softly creates an infectious earworm. Driving home her internal conflict over letting go of her lover, she sings, “So just treat me right / cause I swear your hand molds itself to mine / don’t need no one else cause you know me more than anyone else before,” begging for a sense of resolution. A marooning ‘80s guitar lick cascades across the anthem by the second verse, ceremoniously crescendoing the slightly funky, pop-driven recording to a flourishing conclusion. Tension transfixes itself into the song, creating a ballad that accurately reflects a swooning heart chasing after a cursed romance. Slightly desperate for a solution to estrangement, Paris WYA underlines the song with a sense of emotional craving. “It’s about the kind of first love that never leaves quietly, the one that lingers in muscle memory, in the shape of someone’s hand, in the way they once said your name,” she reveals. “It’s about looking back with open wounds, and still believing somewhere deep down that if they had just loved you right, maybe you could’ve made it.” “Treat Me Right” was written by Emma Taylor and produced by Adrian Cota (Cody Simpson).

Paris WYA is an enchanting, empowered pop artist whose music blends emotional lyricism with a globally inspired perspective. Born in Shanghai and raised across Asia, Europe, and the U.S., she now splits her time between New York and Los Angeles, drawing on her international upbringing to craft a versatile sound defined by powerful vocals, catchy hooks, and vivid imagery. With two EPs—UNTANGLED (2024) and GLITCH (2025)—already showcasing her range, Paris WYA now turns toward a more songwriting-focused, dreamy energy on her forthcoming project MANNEQUIN, highlighting her growing prowess while continuing to fuse global influences with pop ambition. MANNEQUIN’s lead single, “Only Time Will Tell,” which included a visual collaboration with fashion duo Domen & Van de Velde, has already received praise from notable press outlets like Live Nation’s Ones to WatchGlamGlare, and FEMMUSIC.

With a delicate but vivacious touch, “Treat Me Right” perfectly combines acoustic grace with captivating synth-pop production. “Treat Me Right” is out now on all streaming platforms, and the lyric visualizer is available on YouTube.
