Tahani turns growing pains into a pop-rocketing rush on '17'

There’s a particular kind of joy that comes from hearing a song that understands that messy, everyday sense of still feeling like a teenager while your life insists otherwise. Tahani’s latest single '17' hits exactly that nerve, and does it with a grin, a guitar swing, and a chorus that refuses to leave your head.

From the opening moments, this track bursts forward with unfiltered momentum. The guitars snap with confidence, the rhythm surges with purpose, and Tahani’s vocal delivery lands somewhere between playful defiance and heartfelt honesty. It’s a modern pop rush built on memory, frustration, and a stubborn refusal to lose your spark.

What makes '17' feel so instantly addictive is its emotional clarity. Tahani captures that strange limbo where responsibilities stack up, calendars fill, and yet something inside still wants to scream-sing along to loud music with the windows down.

There’s humour woven throughout too, and that lightness is key. Instead of drowning in burnout or self-pity, she leans into relatability with charm and self-awareness. You can hear the smile behind the vocals, even when the lyrics brush against exhaustion and repetition.

Sonically, the production is slick without sanding off the edges. The guitars carry a fizzy bite, the hooks are built for communal shouting, and everything feels designed to move. It’s pop music that remembers how fun it’s supposed to be.

What’s most exciting, though, is what this release signals. For an artist stepping into her first fully collaborative chapter, Tahani sounds fearless. There’s growth here, a sense that joy itself can be a creative statement.

'17' is about carrying your younger self forward, scars, humour, noise and all, and Tahani turns that feeling into something irresistibly alive.
