There’s a certain kind of silence that hits after losing someone who shaped your whole damn world. And Someday, Lina Fouro’s new track, doesn’t try to fix that silence. It just lives inside it—and invites us in. I hit play and didn’t expect to cry. But here we are.
Lina’s from Toronto, but Someday doesn’t belong to a city. It belongs to anyone who’s ever reached for the phone knowing the person they need is gone. “I still call you ’cause I’m hoping you’ll pick up somehow”—I mean, fuck. That line just punched me in the chest. There’s nothing poetic about grief when it’s that real.
The track dropped May 11, 2025—just ahead of Mother’s Day—and it’s a straight-up love letter to her mom. But it’s not sugarcoated. It’s that kind of beautiful, messy longing that doesn’t resolve neatly. “I keep a photo of you just so I can see your smile” isn’t trying to be clever. It’s survival.

The sound is pure indie pop, but not the kind that fades into the background. It’s got a clean beat, a soft ache, and those little sonic lifts that make it feel like you’re floating through memory. Lina’s voice stays steady, even when the lyrics crack you open. “I won’t say goodbye to you, I’ll say so long”—the way she sings that is so gentle and stubborn, like she’s refusing to let the world steal what’s hers.
And we’ve all done that, haven’t we? Held on a little too long to someone we lost. Maybe said “so long” instead of “goodbye” because we couldn’t bear the finality of it. That’s what this whole track is about—refusing to close the door on love just because death showed up.
There’s this one part in the second verse where she sings, “We reminisce and laugh about how you were such a clown”—and it’s such a specific image. You can tell she’s not talking about some abstract grief. She’s talking about her mom. That’s what makes it land so hard. It’s intimate, it’s casual, it’s personal. Like she’s letting us read her journal while we sit cross-legged on her bed, wine in hand, mascara smudged.
The bridge is where she loses it, and honestly, so did I. “If I could go back now, I’d tell you what you meant to me / Took you for granted, guess I thought that you’d never leave.” There’s no resolution in that—just regret. And that’s what makes it believable. This isn’t some polished, radio-ready empowerment anthem. It’s a woman wishing she could rewrite time. A daughter stuck between love and loss, holding tight to that little word—someday.

Behind the track, Lina worked with producer Kice Soroor and director John Petrella. The music video is simple but intimate, shot with help from Moviedom World. “This release not only honors the memory of my late mother, but also serves as a comforting reminder that love transcends boundaries and endures beyond time,” she says. This is a personal ritual. A way of keeping the connection alive.
You don’t need to have lost your mom to feel this one. You just need to know what it’s like to miss someone so much it rewires your brain. “I know of a place in my mind / where we can both get away”—girl, we’ve all been there. Building dreamworlds in our heads just to spend one more second with them.
So yeah, I wasn’t expecting Someday to wreck me a little. But it did. And if you’ve got someone you’d give anything to see again—this one’s for you, too.
Turn the lights low, pour a drink, and let yourself feel it. We don’t always have to be tough girls. Sometimes, we just need to say so long and keep hoping for someday.
