A singer-songwriter from San Diego, born in 1998.

Conan Gray, who has ties to Japan, was born to an Irish father and a Japanese mother, and spent a period of his childhood in Hiroshima with his entire family to care for his grandfather, who was battling cancer.

Before pursuing music, he was active as a YouTuber.

At 17, he uploaded a video titled “Draw My Life,” in which he candidly revealed his upbringing—including his parents’ divorce and frequent changes in his living environment—which garnered significant attention online.

It’s a positive, getting-back-together love song.

The bass sound is cool and makes you feel like you want to start dancing.

Also, Selena Gomez has said “Somewhere in forever, we’ll dance again” in her past breakup songs, meaning that somewhere in eternity, we’ll surely dance again.

In the song Lose You to Love Me, she uses the lyric “This dancing was killing me softly,” and she has used the word “dance” before, so some Selena fans think those songs might be connected.
