Singer-songwriter, Starley delivers new single, “Been Meaning to Tell You” produced by Cory Enemy.
The up-tempo tropical-flecked tune had “a long process behind it,” Starley (full name Starley Hope) tells Billboard. “I wrote this record a while ago and just felt there was something special and relatable about it.” It was written about a guy who “liked me quite a lot,” she recalls. “I was always busy with music so I just figured he’d always be there and kind of blew him off. One night I saw him out at a club and it might have been liquid courage, but regardless, I was ready to tell him I how I felt about him and see where it could go. Of course, at that moment, this beautiful girl walks up and grabs his hand. I was a bit heartbroken. He looked so happy! I realized I’d lost my chance.” So, in the time-honored tradition, she poured out the pain in song.
