On June 18, 2026, Alexis Cao, a Vietnamese Pop-R&B artist-songwriter, released her new single Running Back to You.
The song feels like a love song, but not in a fully soft or helpless way. Alexis’ vocal has that vulnerable pull, like someone admitting they want to let love in, but the lyric is still very self-aware. She already knows where she is going, what she wants, and what she is building. She is not asking someone to complete her.
I dont need no one to tell me Where I’m going when I Know myself and my ambition My finish line my foundation My decision to let you in So what you waitin’ for
Running Back to You
Musically, the harmonies show the softer side of the song. Even when the words sound confident, the stacked vocals make it feel more fragile underneath, like there is still a little fear behind the decision. That is what makes “Running Back to You” interesting. It is intimate, but still controlled. She is letting someone in, but only because she decides to.
