Toronto-based R&B artist Lyhz returns to the music scene with her latest single, “Temporary,” a soulful ballad supported by Canadian music giant FACTOR. Released on May 3rd, “Temporary” is a heartfelt ode to the bittersweet nature of love that doesn’t last, offering a reflection on relationships that come with expiration dates. The song is now available for streaming on all platforms.
“Temporary” is the first of four upcoming singles leading to Lyhz’s highly anticipated 2025 EP. This track showcases the artist’s ability to blend sensual, early 2000s R&B influences with a modern, introspective twist. More than just a breakup anthem, the song delves deep into the emotional turmoil of wanting permanence in a world of temporary connections. With poignant lyrics like, “No plus ones, I got me/You’re the one that I don’t need/Just wish you told me/It’d be temporary,” Lyhz vulnerably captures the essence of longing and self-realization.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the track, Lyhz shared, “I wrote ‘Temporary’ coming from a place of constant disappointment—seeing people, relationships, and opportunities I valued slipping away. This song reflects on the power of letting go of what is temporary to make space for growth. It’s about accepting that, sometimes, moving forward means standing on your own and being okay with that while waiting for something truly meaningful.”
With “Temporary,” Lyhz continues to hone her distinct sound and emotional storytelling, resonating with listeners who have faced similar heartaches and triumphs. As she looks toward the release of her 2025 EP, “Temporary” sets the stage for more deeply personal and relatable music from this rising Canadian star.
