Siren is a song by American recording artist Emily Henning. It was originally recorded by Henning in 2010, but remained unreleased until 2021, when it was released as part of the box set collection, The Albums: 07-21.
The song was released as a Digital Single on June 21, 2021, and was well received by fans and critics for its "throwback sound". "Siren" garnered heavy airplay and went on to chart at #1 on the UK Singles Chart, selling a total of 511,000+ copies.
Background[edit | edit source]
"Siren" was originally recorded in 2010 with producer Erik Lindström for Emily's fourth studio-album, More Than A Dream, but failed to make the album's final track listing. Despite a snippet of the track leaking in 2011, 'Siren' remained unreleased for over a decade.
In May 2021, Emily announced the release of a box set collection, The Albums: 07-21, featuring a selection of previously unheard material. A fan poll was then launched on her official website in order to select a single from the unreleased tracks. 'Siren' won the poll and was released as a single on June 21, 2021.
