There’s something special about a track that hits the floor before it even has a proper mix. That’s exactly what happened with Shery M’s new single “Bubblin.” Written on day one of a songwriting camp in Budapest by three people who had never met, the song got people on their feet at the listening session that same evening. No plan. No brief. Just the vibe in the room. And now that pure party energy is out for everyone.
“Bubblin” is a highly rhythmic, summery club track that leans hard into Caribbean and African influences. Think heavy Afro-Moombahton bounce locked into classic Dancehall grooves, then polished with modern Afropop and urban vocal stylings. The hook is built for repetition: “Bubblin, bubblin, sip it up and work it out.” It doesn’t need deep translation to work. The groove crosses borders first, the same way artists like Shenseea, Stefflon Don or Aya Nakamura let rhythm do the talking before language catches up. There’s even a playful Spanish-flecked “un poco cha-cha” running through the verses that keeps the feel light and physical.
This is the fourth chapter of Shery M’s English-language era, and the first one that isn’t looking backward. Her previous three singles formed a survival trilogy. “Goin’ Gone” captured the moment of leaving Iran. “It’s Possible” sat in the quiet aftermath. “Limitless” was the declaration that followed. “Bubblin” is what comes after you survive: you dance. You celebrate. You let yourself be seen. For an artist who started in Iran’s underground scene, where women were banned from studying opera or singing freely and music videos carried real risk of arrest, a pure party record is not a lighter statement. It is the same story told from the other side.
Shery M (born Shahrzad Mohammadi in Tehran) built a major career as one of the most-streamed Persian-language pop artists of the past decade, often called the Persian Urban Queen. Her audience lived largely outside Western platforms, on Radio Javan, Navahang and Ahangify, across more than 30 singles and four albums. She left Iran in 2016 and rebuilt in Vienna. The English chapter only began in January 2026, so she is effectively growing a second audience from the ground up. “Bubblin” was written with Tokyo-based songwriter Kanata Okajima and produced by Budapest- and Vienna-based Máté Ádám Mógor. The three have continued working together since that first camp day. DJ TC handled the final mix and master, and the release comes with a Radio Edit, Extended Mix, Instrumental and Acapella so DJs and remixers can jump straight in.
Right now the Afrobeats and Dancehall crossover space is thriving on club floors and festival stages. Tracks that fuse those rhythmic foundations with global pop polish are the ones cutting through. “Bubblin” sits right in that lane: sunny, physical, and built for movement rather than messaging.
