“Cruel” explores the quiet cruelty of loving memories that refuse to fade. Written from a place of emotional disorientation, the song reflects how moments once lived remain real, even when the truth behind a breakup was never honest. 

 

Set against a sunset-washed, beach-side atmosphere, Cruel blends smooth beats with a slow soca-inspired groove, subtle electronic textures, and a cinematic R&B sensibility. 

 

Tylvon shapes a sound that feels melancholic, seductive, and quietly reflective, elevated by a feature from legendary Thai saxophonist Koh Mr. Saxman, whose expressive performance adds a sensual, unspoken poignancy to the track.
