“I Know You're In There” by ShiningDymond Is a Love Letter to the Hurt and Hiding

"You don't deserve this. Nobody should ever feel this way."

That is the quiet heart of I Know You're In There, the newest song from Virginia indie artist ShiningDymond. Dropping June 19, 2025, the track sounds like a lifeline for anyone who has buried their pain just to make it through the day.

Written and performed by Dymond Wells, the artist behind ShiningDymond, this song brings listeners into an emotional space that is raw, reflective, and real. It’s for the overthinkers, the feelers, the quiet hearts. It’s for the people who have smiled through heartbreak, held back tears, and carried their stories silently. It’s for anyone who’s been afraid to fall apart.

Vulnerability in the Lyrics

The lyrics feel like a conversation with your younger self—or maybe the hidden version of you now. They gently coax out the parts we hide from the world:

"You build your walls so no one sees, but the pain still echoes through the seam"

This is music that doesn’t rush you. It holds space for your silence. And in a world that demands we be “strong” all the time, ShiningDymond’s words offer something else: permission to feel.

"You gave your all, they gave you none, and now you're scared to come undone"

ShiningDymond describes this song as a form of emotional honesty, a way to connect with people who need a reminder they’re not alone. Whether it's depression, heartbreak, trauma, or just the heavy feeling of being misunderstood, this track doesn’t gloss over it. It meets you there—and stays with you.

Her Growth as an Artist

ShiningDymond first began writing back in second grade, turning a school project into a parody of Justin Bieber—but she wasn’t always confident in her voice. Singing didn’t come easy at first. Through years of practice and growth, she’s steadily improved, and it shows in her music today.

Now a student at Old Dominion University, she’s transforming that sound into something uniquely hers: emotional indie R&B with influences of bedroom pop and diary-style lyrics. Think Laufey, Snoh Aalegra, or early Jhene Aiko—but with her own raw vulnerability.

“I want people to hear my music and feel seen,” she says. “That is always the goal.”

Her earlier tracks like Infested With Ants and Just For You hinted at this emotional depth, but I Know You’re In There marks a clear evolution—both in songwriting and performance. Her voice is more controlled. Her writing cuts deeper. There’s maturity in every verse.

Why This Song Matters

The truth is, many people are hurting quietly. They laugh with friends and say they’re okay, but they feel shattered inside. This song is for them. It validates their pain while offering a message of strength:

"You're stronger every time you try"

This is more than a breakup song. It’s a reminder that you matter, even when you feel invisible. That your softness isn’t weakness. That healing is messy—and still beautiful.

I Know You’re In There will be available on all streaming platforms June 19, 2025.

For Anyone Who’s Ever Felt Invisible

Whether you’ve healed, are healing, or haven’t even started yet—this one is for you.
