Persian American pop artist SHAB continues her global rise with the release of “It’s On You,” a new Afro House-inspired single featuring acclaimed vocalist and songwriter Preston Harris. Available February 27, the track combines hypnotic rhythms, emotional songwriting, and club-ready production, further expanding SHAB’s evolving international sound.
Driven by atmospheric synth textures and a melodic pulse designed for both dancefloors and reflective late-night listening, “It’s On You” explores emotional tension and vulnerability between two people confronting difficult truths. SHAB delivers a performance that balances strength with emotional openness, while Preston Harris brings a smooth and grounded vocal counterpart. Together, the duet creates a dynamic exchange built around tension, release, and connection.
The collaboration arrives during a particularly strong moment for Harris, who recently achieved a Global #1 Dance Radio hit alongside superstar DJ HUGEL. Known for blending elements of R&B, hip-hop, and soul, Harris has previously collaborated with major artists including Kendrick Lamar, Nicky Jam, Terrace Martin, and Hit-Boy.
For SHAB, “It’s On You” represents another important chapter in a career shaped as much by personal resilience as artistic ambition. Born in Iran, SHAB escaped religious extremism as a teenager and arrived alone in New York with only a single suitcase. Speaking only Farsi and German at the time, she learned English while working multiple jobs throughout her education before eventually leaving law school to pursue music full time.
That personal journey has become central to her artistic identity. Through projects including her debut album Infinite Love and the later double album One Suitcase, SHAB has consistently blended global pop influences with themes of freedom, identity, and emotional honesty. Beyond music, she has also become an outspoken advocate for women’s rights in Iran, using her platform to speak openly against oppression and political extremism.
In recent years, SHAB has steadily built an international audience through a string of successful releases. Her collaboration with Fat Joe on “VooDoo” reached the Top 40 on both Rhythmic and Pop charts in the United States, while tracks including “Lipstick” and “Skin & Bones” further strengthened her presence on American radio and dance charts. Since first attracting international attention in 2020 with multiple high-charting UK commercial pop singles, SHAB has continued refining a style that merges electronic production with emotionally driven songwriting.
Today, her growing global profile is reflected not only in streaming numbers — including more than 25 million YouTube views and over 13 million Spotify streams — but also in coverage from publications such as Rolling Stone, The Independent, Daily Mirror, and Marie Claire.
With “It’s On You,” SHAB continues to push her sound forward while remaining rooted in emotional authenticity. The single captures both intimacy and scale, pairing vulnerable storytelling with production designed for movement and connection.
“‘It’s On You’ highlights SHAB’s ability to merge emotional storytelling with contemporary global pop production. The collaboration with Preston Harris feels natural and balanced, bringing together vulnerability, rhythm, and atmosphere in a way that speaks equally to the dancefloor and personal reflection.” — Music-Alive / MusicAlive.net
