SIRUP's new single has fans a little "TIRED" of waiting

You've probably already heard "TIRED". Not on Spotify, not on YouTube. Live, unreleased, months before anyone could actually own a copy of it.

SIRUP has been playing this song on stage since his live-house tour, holding it back from streaming while audiences learned it by ear. He finally broke the silence in Bangkok, the last stop of his Asia tour, confirming what fans had been waiting on since February: "TIRED" is coming out.

It's not an easy song to write, or to release casually. "TIRED" is about walking away from something that mattered, and choosing to keep the memories without letting them keep you in place. Taka Perry, who also produced many of his other tracks, builds it as a mid-tempo ballad, warm guitar, a beat that stays out of the way, until SIRUP's vocal finally breaks open in the last stretch and the whole song tips from restrained into raw.

The music video picks up exactly where "Not AI" – SIRUP's May single – left off. Directed again by maxilla, it's shot as one continuous take of SIRUP playing guitar aboard the same spaceship from the "Not AI" video, drawn toward an unknown planet through the window ahead before finally entering its atmosphere. It plays less like a music video and more like the next scene of a film that hasn't finished telling its story.

The timing isn't incidental. SIRUP just wrapped SIRUP ASIA TOUR 2026 'TURN THE PAGE IN ASIA', hitting Seoul, Taipei and Bangkok on the back of a run most artists would kill for in a single year: all 16 dates of his live-house tour sold out, both Tokyo/Osaka hall tour dates sold out, and "Not AI" landed right in the middle of it. "TIRED" is the comedown after all of that, a song about letting go, arriving at the exact moment SIRUP's own career shows zero interest in slowing down.
