Luke Chiang Returns With “terrible4u” As Prelude To Debut
Taiwanese-American singer-songwriter Luke Chiang begins a new chapter with the release of “terrible4u”, his lead single ahead of a debut album set for early 2026. The track marks his return after years of rebuilding his voice and identity as an artist.
Luke faced a major setback in 2020 when a vocal cord diagnosis forced him into a two-year hiatus. He spent that time relearning how to sing and rediscovering his artistry. Before the break, he had already gained attention with tracks like “May I Ask”, “Paragraphs”, and “Shouldn’t Be”, which went viral on TikTok and now count hundreds of millions of streams.
By 2024, he came back with two singles that were warmly received. Now with “terrible4u”, he offers fans a lush, emotionally charged sound that blends romantic vulnerability with a chill R&B style. The song carries a bittersweet message about realizing you may be the wrong person for someone, yet not wanting to let go of the love.
“terrible4u” reflects Luke’s signature intimate storytelling, but expands into more layered production and deeper emotion. His soothing vocals glide through the track with warmth and honesty, making it both heartbreaking and hypnotic.
Luke’s audience has only grown in recent years. He now has over 2.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify and ranks among the top 100 progressive R&B artists globally. His strongest fan base lives in Southeast Asia, with Jakarta, Quezon City, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Bandung, and Singapore leading his top streaming cities.
For fans waiting on his debut album, “terrible4u” signals what is to come. More than a comeback, it is a testament to resilience, growth, and the power of vulnerability. It also sets the emotional and sonic tone for what promises to be one of 2026’s most anticipated R&B releases.
