NANNY — Concept-Led Songwriting & Deep House Creative Direction

NANNY personifies Singapore speaking to its citizens. The song asks why adults still need rules for elementary matters of consideration, and whether they’ve learned to exercise their own judgment or simply to police one another.

Inspired by the public reaction to a man eating ice cream on Singapore’s MRT, it doesn’t dispute that he broke the rule. It questions whether exposing someone to public ridicule is a proportionate response.

My contribution: Original English lyrics, concept and narrative perspective, song structure, vocal and electronic arrangement direction, AI-assisted production and visual release presentation.

Production process: Original lyrics and creative direction by Tristan Chen; music generation directed using Suno Pro, followed by critical selection and refinement.
