Liamani Is Stepping Into Her Sound—And “Hanging By A Thread” Proves It

Fam! We are back with the yap and talking about a full-blown star. Liamani Segura isn't new to the spotlight—but right now, it feels like she’s stepping into something entirely her own. After years of building a name through powerhouse vocal performances and scene-stealing roles in projects like High School Musical: The Musical: The Series and the upcoming Descendants 5, the 16-year-old artist is making it clear: she’s not just here to impress—she’s here to evolve. Her latest single, “Hanging By A Thread,” is proof that the next chapter isn’t about what she can do—it’s about what she wants to say.

You might’ve first seen her as Emmy in High School Musical or heard about her stepping into the Disney villain lineage as Pink in Descendants 5. Acting opened doors. But music? That’s home base. That’s where you get the most unfiltered version of Liamani—no script, no character, just her voice, her pen, and her heart on full display.

“Hanging By A Thread” is the kind of record that lands quietly and hits heavy. It’s vulnerable without feeling fragile—anchored in emotion but polished in its execution. From the first few seconds, the production feels like dusk: warm, ambient, and slightly hazy. That’s no accident. The track was recorded and co-mixed by Dawsøn at our home base Junxion Søund, one of Vegas' go-to studios for artists. Dawson’s touch adds a cinematic crispness to the song, giving Liamani’s vocals the space to really breathe and build.

Lyrically, Liamani leans into emotional uncertainty. She’s reflecting on a love that's slipping away, and the writing hits in that sweet spot where personal meets universal. “Every story has to end, but I don’t want it to be true…” It’s the kind of line that sticks with you—not because it’s overly complex, but because it’s real. Her delivery is effortless, textured, and raw in a way that makes you lean in a little closer with each verse.

This isn’t her first time showing out in the booth. Earlier singles like “Sunkissed” introduced us to Liamani’s lighter, more playful energy. But “Hanging By A Thread” feels deeper—it’s the turning point. The kind of track that separates the “promising” artists from the ones really stepping into their artistry. It’s clear she’s not interested in chasing trends; she’s building her own sound. One that blends pop, R&B, and a level of emotional storytelling that’s rare for an artist her age.

And people are tuned in. Just days after its release, the “Hanging By A Thread” music video has already pulled in over 100,000 views on YouTube, a number that’s steadily climbing as word spreads. Fans are resonating with the visual just as much as the track—proof that Liamani’s message is landing right where it needs to.

She’s got a Def Jam co-sign, nods from legends like Mariah Carey and Justin Bieber, and a growing fanbase that doesn’t just hear the music—they feel it. In a space where overproduction and image can sometimes cloud the message, Liamani’s biggest flex is that her talent speaks first.

So here we are: a young artist with something to say, a team that gets it, and a song that is just a straight up jam. It doesn't matter If you’re late to the party or you've been tapped in, “Hanging By A Thread” is the kind of record that puts everything into perspective.

You can run it back now on all platforms—and catch the full visual here.
