Singer-songwriter Prateek Kuhad has unveiled his latest single, If I Cannot Be Yours, the second track from his forthcoming studio album Full Moon Chamber, which is set for release on July 10 via Atlantic Records?. The release is accompanied by an official music video and follows the success of the album’s lead single, Blush, which arrived last month.
Built around Kuhad’s signature breathy vocals, layered synths, electric guitar, and a driving rhythm, If I Cannot Be Yours explores themes of love, loss, and self-discovery. The song revolves around the poignant question: “If I cannot be yours, darling, who should I be?”
Speaking about the track, Kuhad said, “Sitting at the centre of loss of identity and self rediscovery, If I Cannot Be Yours explores the unsettling space between wanting to leave a relationship and fearing the reality of who you might become without it. It is about reaching a point where so much of your sense of self is tied to another person, that letting go forces you to confront who you are on your own.”
Full Moon Chamber marks Kuhad’s third studio album and his first full-length project since 2022’s The Way That Lovers Do. Written and recorded between New York and Los Angeles, the album delves into themes of love, identity, belonging, and personal growth through some of the artist’s most introspective songwriting to date.
The project was developed in collaboration with Los Angeles-based producer Nick Ruth, known for his work with Kelly Clarkson, Bakar, and Lauren Spencer Smith. Ruth helped shape Kuhad’s recordings into a cohesive sonic vision for the album.
According to the artist, Full Moon Chamber traces a journey from emotional turbulence towards a deeper sense of balance, self-reflection, and acceptance.
The album is currently available for pre-order ahead of its worldwide release on July 10. Fans can also stream and watch If I Cannot Be Yours through the newly released official music video.
