Ariyel Just Released A Hot Banger, “How to Be Loved”

On May 23, 2025, rising singer-songwriter Ariyel released “How to Be Loved,” a deeply emotional single that explores the pain of toxic love. With its simple guitar riffs, heartfelt vocals, and atmospheric sounds, this track gives us a sneak peek into her upcoming album about breaking free from codependency and emotional abuse. Ariyel blends Phoebe Bridgers’ introspective style with Mitski’s lyrical power.

The gentle acoustic guitar grounds the song while fuzzy synths create a dreamy vibe, reflecting the confusion that comes from loving someone who dims your light. Her voice is both fragile and powerful.

At its heart, the song conveys Ariyel’s idea: like a frog slowly boiling in water. It offers a thoughtful examination of self-betrayal, the gradual erosion of boundaries, gaslighting disguised as love, and the painful moment when you realise you’ve lost yourself in trying to please someone else.

The simple arrangement of lyrics allows listeners to relate their own experiences, while the unresolved feelings reflect the complicated path to finding self-worth.
