Bingkai Karya – Alternative pop soloist Oslo Ibrahim returns with a work that feels intimate and honest. With his latest single, “People On The Side”, Oslo tackles a topic that is often experienced but rarely discussed openly: being the person “on the other side” in a relationship. Still carrying his signature sweet, slightly melancholic melody, this time Oslo invites listeners into a warm yet questionable atmosphere. This song isn’t just a love song, it’s more of a confession about the complexities of being trapped in an unclear relationship.
With straightforward lyrics such as, “Don’t need to say sorry because I’m the mess” and “It’s a special song for people on the side”, Oslo portrays the vulnerable side of a situationships. There are sweet moments, as small as sending a heart emoji, but at the same time, there is guilt because deep down we know our position isn’t the priority. “This song is for those who find themselves in a gray area. Sometimes you feel like an option, but at the same time you also feel like the most sincere in a relationship that actually has no clarity,” Oslo explained about the song. Musically, “People On The Side” still carries Oslo’s signature color: indie pop with a touch of soft ballad. His vocals feel intimate, combined with simple yet impactful instruments, making the song feel like a personal story whispered directly to the listeners.
What makes this single even more relatable is the way it captures emotions that many people struggle to express. Instead of dramatizing heartbreak, Oslo chooses to present it in a simple and honest way, allowing listeners to connect with the song through their own experiences. The combination of heartfelt lyrics and gentle production creates a comforting atmosphere, as if the song quietly understands feelings that are often left unsaid.
This song can become a companion for lonely nights, or for moments when you’re overthinking about relationships. It’s also perfect for a relaxed playlist filled with reflection. “People On The Side” has been available on all digital music platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, etc.) starting from May 22, 2026. The lyric/music video is also available on Oslo Ibrahim’s official YouTube channel.
