Babé Sila returns with ‘Forever (Bhebbak)’, a soulful meditation on intercultural love

Budapest-born, London-based singer-songwriter Babé Sila is back with a luminous new single, Forever (Bhebbak), now available on all platforms. With this track, she proves her ability to turn deeply personal moments into something universal. Rooted in a timeless Middle Eastern folk melody made famous by Fairuz, Forever (Bhebbak) (which means “I love you” in Lebanese dialect) is both a love letter and a reflection, on intimacy, memory and the quiet hope that love can outlast the moment it’s born in.

The song takes us on a cross-continental journey, musically and emotionally. From its bossa nova rhythms and Spanish guitar to the hypnotic jazz piano and floating flutes, the soundscape carries the weight of shared heritage and fragile longing. Babé Sila explains how the melody’s legacy, heard across Arabic, Persian, Hebrew and Andalusian households, mirrors her own experience of loving across cultures and identities. “As someone with ties to parts of this heritage, in love with someone who shares parts of it too, I felt an instinctive pull towards it… It carries a legacy that has connected communities for generations—just as it connected us, despite our different backgrounds. It’s a shared melody that could act as a reminder how music and culture can build bridges, bringing us back to the common human experiences we all share” she says, and it shows.

Familiar yet foreign, delicate & magnetic, Forever (Bhebbak) feels like a delicious memory you haven’t lived yet. Succeeding to Summer Sings, it continues to introduce us to Babé Sila’s upcoming EP, I Told The Sun About You, dropping June 20. If this single is any indication, the project promises to be an intimate exploration of love in all its emotional complexity.
