Repeat Heartache’s catchy tune and insightful lyrics are testament to Arun’s songwriting mastery, showcasing his instinct for a great chorus hook and a message that is universal for all listeners.

Produced by award-winning Nashville producer Jay Tooke and recorded at Roundhead Studios in Auckland, “Repeat Heartache” was borne out of trauma from the loss of someone special. Arun says, “Repeat Heartache” is my most personal song to date, touching the hearts of those who have mourned the loss of a friend or family member. It reminds us that tough times will come, and the pain may sometimes feel as fresh as when they left us. However, this pain also serves as a reminder of how much these people meant to us. It is through intense emotions that we keep them alive in our memories, even through difficult moments. “Repeat Heartache” is a song that encourages us to remember the hard times but also the many happier moments, and to honour our loved ones who have passed.”

“Repeat Heartache” is out on Thursday 18 January 2024 through all streaming platforms.
