-----
To commemorate the year I’ve had, this is a personal holiday gift from me to you. “Sugarplum Elegy”.
This song literally came out of nowhere. I fully wrote and self-produced this in my bedroom, during a time where I felt cold and clogged, in every sense.
It’s funny because while I’ve achieved all these insane milestones professionally, this year has actually been the toughest personally.
But you and your support - you’ve been my Constants. Through the mountaintops and the valleys, you’ve been there. and I cannot thank you enough for putting me in this position. I love you guys so much!!!
Shoutout to my amazing team and family at 88rising for letting me put this out on such short notice, the way I want to. Apologies for the pre-holiday headaches!! Thank you for always believing in me.
SO. From me to all of you, no gimmicks, no bullshit, just music -
Happy holidays. I hope you like it.
See you next year.
x NIKI

LYRICS
Seven months older,
Air’s getting cold, our bed’s startin’ to creak
God knows where you are,
I’m here waiting for love through a screen
You show me the outfit you chose
for the dinner and tonight’s show,
Must be nice to be your clothes.
Second to none even at your worst,
Sometimes I wish you’d put me first
Nowadays you’re such a blur
We keep dancing around the innocent truth that we’re just...
Out of time (ooh)
Must I die before you feel alive? (ooh)
A curse in a graceful disguise
I love you too much to stay in love.
How are you darling? How are you, really?
How was Taiwan? (you never say)
Thanks for the flowers, but you’ve been here hours
yet your coat’s still very much on
Tiptoein’ around the bitter truth but we both know...
It's just time (ooh)
Must I die before you feel alive? (ooh)
A curse in a graceful disguise
Great was our love, it was one for the books
We gave it the best that we could
but I won’t recite all my lines just to watch you and I...lie.
I’m so proud I got to love you once.
ok so Sugarplum Elegy is out on all platforms.... a full year later 😂 i love y’all happy holidays

You have to admit it, that History is hotter than Cold.
So Niki's still 19 years old and write and bedroom-produced this song by herself... shit is dope!!!
What have i done in my teenage years...
that's passion my friend
I'm at my 20 and i'm lying in my bed being a piece of shit.. i need some damn motivation lmao
@@fogz same here
@@fogz I feel you. i won't ramble my issues in life to strangers lol, but college is taking away the motivation for things I actually wanna do smh. That I'm just lazy overall.
I mean I'm the same age as her but still a potato, doing nothing except watching netflix smh
She's such a breath of fresh air in the music industry.
Oooh I can't wait for that day to happen 😄😍
@@swees725meow
This song has such clear vulnerability and it's so fragile that i may break it with each second i hear it. The desperate tone of craving someone's presence when they were never really there makes me want to get back something i never truly have. One of the worst part of relationship is when you're fighting on your own, it's like...burning yourself just to become someone else's candle. Not good at all. And the line "Im so proud i got to love you once" just makes it more honest in such a mesmerizing way. It's like saying "thank you for giving me the opportunity to break, now it's my time to collect the piece because i need to love myself in the way i used to love you."
Ps : niki if u want it i can even write u books just aSK ME i'll make ur wish come true bcs u deserve it
ayy niki shout you out in her story
Ur in niki's ig story
KAK NONA YOU MADE IT
nona!!
Nona NIKI heard you lol
i personally relate to this song hahaha this guy completely manipulate me by giving me false hopes of being in a relationship with him when he was in reality just playing me and look for me only when he was bored to the point that i was the last person he could call. i endured it for a bit with the mindset of “even just a little, i still want a piece of him” but then i realized that i was nothing to him from the beginning. moved on but still wondered about him from time to time. stood my ground though when he wanted to “reconnect and talk”.
Hope u meet someone great in 2019 :)
So me rn. Im trying my best to move on. :(
I cried while reading this. I felt it. I hope you meet someone whose sole objective is to protect and love you with all his heart.
Looks like you're not alone ahaha, and it seems that your case is harder than mine.
Anyway, it has to be hard for you and I hope that you'll be stronger after being able to face through all.
Best wishes for you and other peoples who have been through similar situation :)
theres always signs when someone isn't going to commit to you
THE GROWL AT “YOU’VE BEEN HERE HOURS”
“must be nice to be your clothes” me at first: oh okay she must wanna hold him
me after listening to it five times: *crying* SHE JUST WANTS TO BE CLOSE TO HIM AND A HIGHER PRIORITY IM
okay but actually i really really love the writing its a bop ... and i am crying
Omg me too like I’m analyzing that one line now and I’ve come to the conclusion that she’s wants to be shown off like he shows off his clothes ahhhh
Cutie Pie im sobbing at this analysis 😭
m2 girlllll
@@annettenguyen6396 omg i'm sobbing wtf that's so beautiful
niki+ bedroom = chill best holiday song
me+ bedroom = NAP TIMEEEE!!!
Nap + niki's music= good ass dreams ;)
Bruh same we are lazy people 🤡
Hope we could all have someone who's not gonna fall out of love on us. Someone whose sole objective is to love, protect and cherish us. Someone who's gonna love us during ups and specially during down. Someone who's not even gonna imagine whether how it is like to unlove you. Someone who's gonna stay despite knowing that it's not gonna be easy. If you still haven't found that someone yet, be that someone for you for now.
The sob-like breathe she does in the end GAWD IM BAWLING
Okay but when is this coming out on spotify so i can cry while listening in the bus??
Moira this is better then Billie eilish wish niki was a thing damn 🤯
AGREED
camren480 There's no need to compare two great artists like Niki and Billie
facts
agreed, so i can cry in train
"I'm so proud I got to love you once" is a BIG MOOD lol especially with Ariana's "thank u, next" NIKI summed the message up in a much clearer way in a single line of this song
**cries in christmas**
p i n k g u y
D A D D Y
Fr it gives that feel
I already know this song when me and my boyfriend were still together. Now that we're done, this song hits me differently. Every lyrics describe how I'm feeling right now and how our relationship was. This is the perfect song to describe our love story. In the end, I really am proud that I got to love him even just once. Thank you Niki for writing this song. Its actually helping me to move on.
"I'm so proud I got to love you once" part hits me hard
"God knows where you are,
I’m here waiting for love through a screen" - I feel you Niki
This line hit so hard damn
“I’m so proud I got to love you once.”
This line made me tear up. What beautiful meaning that can give to anyone who’s been in love. Niki we feel your pain through this song and we love you.😢❤️
Andrew 😭😭😭😭😭
OMG SAME
Yes. Everytime it gets to that line my mood fades and I immediately get sad.
1:51 omg the growl we stan vocals
Thanks for making me aware of that part. Literally gold.
When she said "how was Taiwan - *you never say* " i felt that, and its not even a joke, it pains me

i literally love you so much niki. been supporting you since i like u and i’ve never regretted it once. i’ve listened to every single one of your songs a good 4 dozen times. i know them by heart, i swear. you’re my idol, an icon, a leader for us asian girls who wanna love music. i seriously cannot thank you enough. thank you for a beautiful year of music.
this is what angels sound like
As a taiwanese I’m shooketh to hear Taiwan in a masterpiece ........ QUEEN
same. shooketh to the core.
@@nicholasronald384 and? Do you understand the comment at all? 😂
@@nicholasronald384 gagal paham ya? 😅
@@nicholasronald384 she's talking about the lyric 'how was taiwan'
Shookt
While I'm listening to this, I feel like I've been in a relationship for a long while with a well-off man who takes me to fancy dinners, buy me clothes, but never really give the time and attention I need. Like this all happened in a black and white movie from the 60's.
We need a 'Genius' video for this song. I want to hear her thoughts.
UPPP
Basically we need "Genius" video for all of her song!!! I believe She has the deep thoughts for writing such amazing lyrics
Already one year, i'm still hoping :')))
havent had a notification from this channel in a good while, miss this stuff

Eh hi
NGAKAK ANJ
ahmad faizal wtf just kidding fuck
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I just hope she’d repost her old videos so other people will be able to listen to those. All of her old songs are just so good and pure and lovely and deserve more recognition😭😊
Definitely! By the way Anaheim and Polaroid Boy are available on Spotify, just search for Nicole Zefanya
Tru
To Niki’s mom, thankyou for brought her on this earth so that I can listen to beautiful songs everyday ❤️
You are so talented indeed 🌼 you deserve more recognition 🗣️
Gives me chilly Christmas vibes ❄️
It's the ones that are done unprofessional that sound much better
Niki is such an underrated artist, she deserves much more. I would really like to thank 88rising for making NIKI popular ♡
This song, especially the "I'm so proud I got to love you once" part, reminds me so much of Ji in exile au🤧 Many years have passed, nandun pa rin siya ansakett huhuhu
You can feel that this song is a little bit inspired by slow dancing in the dark, sounds really neat and powerful. Awesome NIKI!!
Edit: since niki already performed slow dancing in the dark live, i hope joji would do the same with this song
Yeah i feel it too a few times
Yes I was about to comment it
1:45 listen to the beat it sounds like slow dancing in the dark
I don't think it was inspired by slow dancing since she does say that she was in her room and came up with it while she felt down
@@unknown_kingzz1896 artists build and take from each other all the time, whether subconscious or not. personally i like to think of these songs as two sides of the same coin, per se, since they remind me so much of each other
wow... not in a relationship but work has been so stressful for me these past few weeks that I often feel like just walking out but i can't, but listening to this song made me cry all this frustration out. Great timing Niki, Love it ❤
Niki is so talented and such a treasure for today's music. I hate that she's so underrated. Nowadays you have to show skin and shake your ass in order to succeed in the music industry, either that or be a complete sell out. Anyways, thanks for this beautiful song and for staying true to yourself💜💜💜
NIKI BABY CAN YOU PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEE PUT THIN ON YOUR SPOTIFY, I BEG YOU. PLEASEEE. LOVE YOU.
this makes me wanna cry how underrated this song/artist is
My night has been blessed thank you💜
I feel the pain and honesty in every senses of words and it is exactly like what I’m going through as of now. And I am very much thankful for this.
And thank you for putting out such a bop, you never disappoint NIKI, stay wild💜💜💜💜
I love you niki, one of my top artists in my Spotify unwrapped. 2018 was big for you and 2019 will be even bigger!!! 💕💕💕
The sigh at the end where it sounds like she's about to cry just kills me. I want to hug her
NIKI, you made me recall the old Vietnamese songs with your beautiful lyrics (in EVERY SONG!!). So HAPPY to have found your station even though I'm years late. May all of the spirits above bless you forever more through the good and the bad. *bow*
You’re voice is so timely, compliments the melody.
who else waiting this on spotify and apple music 🙋🏼♂️
Ghaza Mustafa tell me about it!
still waiting :/
lah ngapa nemu u di sini dah :(
this captures the essence of bitter aching winter love so nicely I adore the vibe
goosebumps all over again everytime this song plays. it's just magical
I just recently discovered this song... I fell in love immediately. Thank you for writing such a beautiful song.
😭😭😭 We are all so proud and happy for what youve accomplished this year NIKI! You've risen so high from such humble beginnings, and you've set such a wonderful example for all asian female talents, or any other talents, around the world. 💜💜💜
Why is this recommended to me?
But I'm happy I clicked on it. I've pulled an all nighter studying and caffeine is still not leaving my soul. I have classes in 30 mins.
I'm listening to this in my car and I feel like drooling to sleep ♥ it's so good ~💜 new sub here.

“How was Taiwan?”

This is a real masterpiece. Oh wait no, all of her songs are a masterpiece. I can listen to her sing all day it's just so so calming and sweet ugh luv a queen she is
this song is just a reminder why you're the top artist i listened to in 2018 :')))

@@alexandersaid7139 they won't see it.
It’s sad but it’s true 😔
Yup, sadly true.
Lebih ke ‘kita baru ngediscover Niki karna dia karirnya indie dan malah sering didenger orang negara luar’
Karna gue pertama denger niki juga langsung suka dari lagu ‘i love you’
Added it to my playlist before even listening and I’m not disappointed
This song straight hits my soul. Haven’t heard something so clear and beautiful in a long time. Thank you for this. ❤️
This was my heartbreak song that I listened on christmas 2 years ago. Listened this song, really break me apart especially when it goes to "im so proud i got to love you once." Man, i really had the best heartbreak that day, and Sugarplum Elegy is the song that accompany me feel and heal the wounds.
I listened to this at least 50 times this week, her voice is just too heavenly
Everytime I plays this song it always gives me goosebumps. It's just so gooooood.
Mba Niki maafkan daku yang terlambat mengenalmu.. u're so talented girl...
This song never leaves my head. This morning i woke up to this song and its already 6:30 in the eve i am still humming and feeling melancholia to this. Makes me think of my crush as well. I hope i get to see her in her hometown and play this if i ever get to walk with her. Ive been working to be better and to finally have the courage to talk to her. Damn if only...
put this song on a record so I can be the indie pop kid I was truly meant to be
"But I won't recite all my lines just to watch you and I lie. I'm so proud I got to love you once".
Wow. That. Right there. 👏 way too underrated *mind blowing*
From little souls to little princess, i'm so happy to see where you are right now Nicole💜
i love this song so much, but the fact that she haven't sings this live or making acoustic version of this is just heartbreaking
How the hell have I never heard of NIKI??? This is awesome and produced purely in her bedroom, incredible.
Madd Hatter she’s not the most popular artist among 88 rising i swear
This is so soothing to hear....i feel so relaxed love you niki
idk why but this so nostalgic. i feel the lovely chrismast vibes here 😩💗
this song hurts me so bad. I always ugly cry when I listen to this bc its so beautifully painful. Letting go of someone you love with all of you knowing they don’t feel the same way anymore is the worst feeling in the world.
discovering you was the best thing i did this year. love you, thank you for your music.
I JUST SAW MY COMMENT ON NIKI'S IG STORY IM DYING
this is so dreamy, it feels like you brought to heaven
Yeah really ʕ´• ᴥ•̥`ʔ
im in love w this. it puts me in a trance every time I hear it, I can't stop listening to it. I hope your holidays were as beautiful as they could be, and I wish you an even better year ahead. thank you for this, niki. happy new year. ♡
Niki, I keep coming back to this and I'm definitely not crying right now
Damn this song is perfect💜 How is it not on Apple Music or Spotify. I haven't been a fan for that long but the music you put out definitely made me a part of the fandom. Truly you have a soulful taste for music Niki, and I am looking forward to more music to come from you. No gimmicks, no bullshit, only pure music!
at first, I thought this song is about Christmas song... but when I look at the lyrics... this is the best love song💖💓
PLEASEEEE PUT THIS ON SPOTIFY!🙏🙏🙏🙏
setuju
right
Luckiest thing on 2018 : found niki.
Btw, can you make the same music quality in bahasa? I just have on the brain
go see nadine amiza "rumpang"
True asdfgjkl
Belum ada lagu dlm Bahasa Indonesia yg cukup bagus buat dinyanyiin sama NIKI.
NIKI pernah beberapa kali dibuatin lagu dalam Bahasa Indonesia, sayang lagunya ga terlalu memuaskan.
Penulisannya kurang bagus. Rasanya kalo mau nyanyi lagu dlm Bahasa Indonesia, sebaiknya NIKI nulis sendiri. Jgn nyanyiin lagu org, yg ada malah ga cocok buat karakter NIKI.
niki kalo ngomong bahasa indonesia kayak berasa ngegas gitu, menurut gue kurang
One of the Best thing about 2019 is finding NIKI, for real my goodness, this is just something else. It is like I am living it....
I just decided to search RUclips for Niki's older music today... I have heard people mention this song name but didn't know it was here! My ex and I broke up pretty much on new years day of 2019 (just a month after this song was posted) and our relationship resembled the lyrics so deeply; plus, it also lasted 7 months which is especially eerie. Thank you Niki for putting out such raw and beautiful music 💗
Just search nicole zevanya in youtube. You will found niki song before she join 88 rising.
@@idoji341 Already made a playlist of them; such amazing tracks!

Who’s here before 1M ? 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♂️
that high note literally grabbed me by the hand and yeeted me into heaven
Hi Niki! This message is a long shot but I’d go for it anyway. I genuinely love every song you put out - from your early days on youtube to the present under 88rising. I honestly think it’s impossible for you to release a bad song. I’m such a fan. Then again, I really hope you’ll put your old videos public again. I don’t know if it’s management’s instruction or a personal decision to put it on private. But I really hope you’ll put them up again. I stumbled upon your youtube during a time I was searching for some Slow Dancing In A Burning Room covers. The pink guitar in the thumbnail caught my eye, but the voice and guitar playing amazed me, and then I fell in love with Little Souls and every original song and covers you uploaded in this channel. During some of my rough days back then, I remember your videos would calm me down and help me get through them. (and i always put my headphones on for better audio as you instructed HAHA). There are days I just wanna reminisce, look back and celebrate your growth and how proud I am of all your achievements in such a short time. (been with you since 2k followers on instagram, and now you’re going for half a million WHOA) I’m just so proud of you. You deserve success coz you’re so gifted and excellent at what you do. Rooting for you all the way. Much love and support.
Song melted my heart immediately all, the stress gone, its straight up therapeutic to listen to NIKI
