Khalid Shares Heartfelt New Single “Shot Down”

Byhiphop

Khalid is preparing for the release of his debut album American Teen on March 3. Ahead of its release, the Texas native has been sharing new singles and taking his music across the country on tour. Last month, he shared “Saved” and today he returns with another titled “Shot Down.” 

Early on, it’s easy to detect Khalid’s personal method of making music. At only 18 years old, he already has a great grasp on the concept of transforming relatable vulnerabilities into catchy singles that fans will want to sing along to.

For “Shot Down” Khalid slows the tempo down in comparison to “Saved,” and delivers a heartfelt message to match the mood of the rhythm. Relationships can be confusing at any age—even more so as a teenager—but Khalid seems to create the perfect soundtrack for the feeling of infatuation, longing, heartbreak, and every stage in between.
