Gentle Bones’ new song ‘You’re My Superhero,’ a motivational ode to modern-day superheroes

October 21, 2021

• His self-titled debut album ‘Gentle Bones’ has garnered over 20 million streams on digital platforms, Joel Tan, better known by his stage name Gentle Bones, had a light and easy conversation with our Radio Bae, DJ Nick!

  On this exclusive interview, they talked about the origin of his name, his inspirations in writing songs, and the story behind his latest single ‘You’re My Superhero.’

  Singaporean singer-songwriter Gentle Bones revealed that there is no deeper reason behind why he chose that stage name. “There are 10,000 Joel Tans in Singapore so I needed like a name to my music more recognizable. It just sounded nice when I’m 16.” Gentle Bones also shared that he write songs that will make you feel good at the end of the day.

  ‘You’re My Superhero is a motivational ode to the heroes around us. “The superheroes that I had in mind when writing were very much not actual superheroes,” Joel revealed, elaborating further on the song. “It’s a song dedicated to them and paying homage to the fact that we all can be superheroes in our own lives and other people’s lives. It’s how we decide to step up to the plate that’s most important,” he added.

  ‘You’re My Superhero’ is off from his self-titled debut album ‘Gentle Bones.’
