Mergui 3 Tears: Why This New Single is Redefining Modern Pop

Mergui Just Dropped “3 Tears” — And It’s the Emotional Gut-Punch Pop Needs Right Now

There’s a specific kind of magic that happens when an artist stops trying to fit into a box and just starts bleeding onto the track. That’s exactly what Mergui is doing.

If you aren’t familiar with the name yet, it’s time to catch up. The Israel-born, LA-based singer-songwriter has been quietly (and sometimes loudly) rewriting the pop playbook. His latest single, “3 Tears,” just hit streaming platforms, and it’s a masterclass in how to challenge the “polished” norms of the industry.

More Than Just a “Pop Star”

Mergui isn’t exactly new to the spotlight, but his evolution since moving to LA is something to behold. He first made waves under Saban Music Partners with the brutally honest “Sucks to Know You (F.U.)” back in 2022. Since that breakout, he hasn’t let his foot off the gas, dropping EPs like Shadows of Blue and Nobody Really Knows that feel more like personal diaries than commercial records.

The Road to “3 Tears”

You don’t get invited to open for Bruno Mars or Maroon 5 in front of 65,000 people unless you have something special. Mergui has that “it” factor—a mix of raw vocal talent and a stage presence that feels effortless.

He recently wrapped up a massive 28-show run across North America with Forest Blakk, and you can hear that “road-worn” maturity in his new music. While his previous collaboration with maryjo, “LIVING ROOM,” gave us a glimpse into his softer side, “3 Tears” feels like a definitive statement on where he’s headed.

What Makes “3 Tears” Different?

A lot of modern pop feels like it was built in a lab. Mergui’s music feels like it was built in a late-night basement session. “3 Tears” captures that specific moment of realization in a breakup—the kind that’s messy, honest, and impossible to ignore.

“He’s not just chasing a chorus; he’s chasing a feeling.”

Whether he’s exploring the “Dark Side Of The Rainbow” or navigating the LA hustle, Mergui’s superpower is his ability to stay grounded while his career hits the stratosphere.

How to Listen

“3 Tears” is out now on all platforms. If you’re looking for a song that hits as hard in your headphones as it does in a stadium, this is the one.
