Hoang and raph have come together for their latest collaboration, “Crashing Down,” a record that delves deep into themes of lost relationships and the fleeting nature of time. The song is a product of both artists’ shared passion for telling heartfelt stories, capturing raw emotion and nostalgia.

Lyrically, “Crashing Down” explores the regret of not cherishing moments with loved ones and the desire to reclaim time lost. With lines that express the ache of fading memories and the longing to hold onto fleeting moments, the track captures the emotional struggle of trying to reconcile the past with the present.

Together, they’ve crafted a song that speaks to anyone who has ever felt the pull of nostalgia and the pain of letting go. Most recently, Hoang has come off his headline summer headline tour and has had a handful of singles drop such as “5 Years” with Dia Frampton on Insomniac’s imprint Lost in Dreams.
