Last Updated on August 24, 2026 by Over Here Toronto
Singaporean singer Iman Fandi embraces confidence, self-worth, and playful independence on her latest pop and R&B single.
Singaporean singer Iman Fandi enters a bold new chapter with “IT IS,” her latest single now available on all major digital music platforms worldwide.
Blending modern pop and R&B with a playful edge, “IT IS” delivers a confident message about knowing your worth and refusing to settle for empty promises. Instead of waiting for validation, the song celebrates taking up space, standing firm, and letting actions speak louder than words.
For Iman, the message comes from personal experience.
“This is something I have personally learned throughout my life,” Iman shares. “While the song’s message is rooted in confidence and self-possession, it also carries a playful nod to the people who always ask, ‘Is this song about me?’ The answer is part mystery, part mischief: if you think it is about you, maybe it is.”
That sense of mystery gives “IT IS” its mischievous personality. The track makes its point without overexplaining, offering listeners a glimpse of the fearless direction Iman is taking as an independent artist.
Iman Fandi Enters a New Independent Era
The release follows a year of major milestones for Iman Fandi. After parting ways with Universal Music, she began 2026 as an independent artist and quickly built momentum across Singapore’s music and entertainment scene.
She performed at Light to Night and the Kallang Countdown before making her halftime show debut at the AFC Asian Cup match between Singapore and Bangladesh. The performance held particular significance for Iman as the daughter of Singapore football icon Fandi Ahmad, connecting her career with her family’s sporting and cultural legacy.
Iman has also expanded her creative circle beyond Singapore. Ahead of the release of “IT IS,” she connected with P-pop group KAIA and RAMONA, the musical alter ego of actress and singer-songwriter Andrea Brillantes, after meeting in Singapore during the NBA Rising Stars Invitational.
The collaborations will roll out across TikTok throughout August. At home, Iman has also been building anticipation for the single through content with fellow National Day Parade performers Jasmine Sokko and Gareth Fernandez.
“IT IS” Builds on Iman Fandi’s 2026 Momentum
Iman first teased “IT IS” during the reopening of Zouk, Singapore’s iconic nightclub, in July. She then continued the momentum with a performance of “Giants” at this year’s National Day Parade.
The annual celebration brought together a 42,000-strong crowd at the National Stadium alongside a nationwide live broadcast, giving Iman another major platform as she continues to establish herself as an independent artist.
Her momentum will continue beyond the single’s release. Iman is set to perform at the Singapore Indoor Stadium for the first time at the end of August, while a school tour will bring “IT IS” to students across Singapore.
The new single follows Iman’s 2026 releases “Tip Toes” and “Out Of My Mind.” It also leads into her upcoming debut independent EP, Afterglow, marking another step in the singer’s evolving artistic journey.
Iman Fandi Looks Toward the Afterglow Era
Now working independently, Iman Fandi is shaping her next chapter on her own terms. Her music draws from modern pop and R&B, while her broader creative work connects music, fashion, and contemporary culture.
Her upcoming Afterglow era explores themes of growth and resilience while reflecting the confidence she brings to her independent career.
With “IT IS,” Iman turns that confidence into a statement. The song is playful without losing its edge, personal without revealing everything, and direct without needing to explain itself.
As she continues expanding her presence across Southeast Asia, Iman Fandi is making one thing clear: she knows her worth, and she is ready to let the music speak for itself.
