Fresh off his headline tour across Asia, breakout pop artist and multi-platinum producer elijah woods returns with an infectious new single, “Slicked Back Hair”, a chantable, buzz-worthy anthem that offers another exciting glimpse into his highly anticipated debut album, ‘Can We Talk?’, out October 14th. 
Equal parts playful and heartfelt, “Slicked Back Hair” is a feel-good anthem about growth, vulnerability, and lasting connection. After gaining momentum online through early teasers, the track became an instant fan-favourite during his summer tour—with crowds already singing every word before its official release.
“”Slicked Back Hair” is about meeting someone who changes everything, the kind of person who turns you from a caterpillar into a butterfly.”

With major stops in Manila, Singapore, Bangkok, and more, the tour firmly established elijah as one of the most electrifying and fast-rising pop voices in the region.
In 2024, his rising prominence in Asia reached new heights—selling out his first Asia tour in May, opening for Niall Horan in Jakarta, and taking the stage at the Seoul Jazz Festival alongside Lauv, Jeremy Zucker, and JP Saxe. Today, Asia dominates his global streaming audience, with top markets including: #2 Indonesia, #3 Philippines, #5 Taiwan, #6 India, #8 Malaysia, #9 Thailand, and #11 Singapore.
Beyond the stage, elijah’s charisma and personal style are making waves in fashion. He recently graced the cover of Esquire Singapore and was featured in The Greatest Magazine, VMAN SEA, and NYLON Manila—with more coverage on the way.
With his highly anticipated debut album on the way, 2025 is shaping up to be elijah woods’ biggest year yet as he steps into a breakout year on the global stage.
