A deeper turn from Hanna Haïs
Hanna Haïs unveils “Maybe I Already Know”, released on 5 December 2025 via Donkela Music with a full rollout set for 19 December. The single introduces a more reflective and emotionally nuanced sound compared to the Afro-Tech leanings of her recent catalogue. The track is currently available on major platforms, including the Beatport release page for “Maybe I Already Know”.
Strings as the starting point
The composition was built around a quiet string progression that became the spine of the entire arrangement. From this, Haïs layered percussive elements, plucked textures and supporting tones. The track’s emotional weight is carried by a vocal performance that Haïs chose not to sing herself, allowing the narrative to sit in a different register of vulnerability.
Personal context behind the track
Haïs notes that the song’s depth was shaped by a difficult period during the summer, when she spent significant time caring for her seriously ill sister. That experience informed the tone, pacing and structure of the production, drawing her back to the introspective sensibilities present in her early artistic years.
A piece built for introspection
Although Haïs performs widely across global stages, she emphasises that this particular work was driven not by audience energy but by her personal emotional state. The track retains rhythmic precision but is designed more for reflection than for the dancefloor.
