Emerging singer-songwriter Clarity Liao continues her impressive artistic evolution with the release of her fourth solo single, “Make Up Your Mind.” A bright, emotionally charged pop track, the single perfectly captures the exhausting frustration of mixed signals and the ultimate courage it takes to walk away from relationship uncertainty.

The track serves as the latest preview of her highly anticipated forthcoming EP, Dear…, a deeply personal collection of songs exploring the multidimensional landscapes of love, jealousy, loss, and longing.

Liao’s steady rise to solo prominence is backed by years of highly decorated songwriting success. She first gained widespread industry recognition as the principal songwriter for the band Navillera, whose hit debut single “Too Young” took home the prestigious 2024 Yamaha National Best Popular Music Award.

She further cemented her reputation as an elite young composing talent when her original piece, “I Need You,” secured first place in the 2025 YMS National Composers Competition.

Now stepping confidently into the solo spotlight, Liao is radically expanding her sonic palette. Drawing rich inspiration from a diverse array of foundational artists, including Bruno Mars, Adele, Regina Song, and Olivia Rodrigo, her new material effortlessly bridges her indie-pop roots with elements of bedroom pop, smooth R&B, modern doo-wop, and contemporary radio pop. Conceptually, each song on the upcoming Dear… EP is crafted to act as a different emotional letter, expressing the raw thoughts and heavy feelings often left unsaid in real life.

At the centre of this new creative chapter is “Make Up Your Mind,” a candid and instantly relatable anthem born from the agonising emotional limbo of waiting for someone who refuses to commit.

“‘Make Up Your Mind’ was inspired by my frustration of being given mixed signals by someone who seemed interested, but never fully committed,” Liao explains openly. “The song is a letter about waiting while knowing deep down that the situation is going nowhere. It’s about wanting honesty, but also realising you can’t keep holding onto someone who won’t choose you.”

The song materialised rapidly after Liao heard an early demo sent over by producer Ken Fielder, who also served as a co-writer on the track. A catchy, sun-drenched acoustic guitar hook and a buoyant mid-tempo groove immediately sparked a lyrical melody in her head.

“The phrase ‘make up your mind’ came almost instantly,” she recalls. “From there, I wrote the lyrics to match that feeling of uncertainty and emotional frustration, keeping everything entirely direct and honest.”

While the song’s underlying subject matter deals with heavy emotional confusion, Fielder’s sleek production offers a refreshing, empowering contrast. Built around bright acoustic textures, infectious rhythmic energy, and an uplifting pop sensibility, “Make Up Your Mind” brilliantly transforms romantic heartbreak into something fiercely independent and undeniably catchy.

The track also marks an important professional milestone for Liao, representing her very first official co-writing experience alongside a producer.

“What makes this track especially meaningful to me is that it brought out a more playful, girly side of my sound,” Liao notes. “It was also my first time co-writing with my producer, and I really loved the collaborative process. That experience made the song feel even more personal and exciting to create.”

As international anticipation steadily builds for Dear…, “Make Up Your Mind” stands as a stunning testament to Clarity Liao’s innate ability to transform highly specific, private pain into universally relatable pop stories. Honest, melodic, and emotionally resonant, the single showcases a songwriter completely unafraid to confront her own vulnerability while fiercely embracing personal growth, independence, and self-worth.
