HELN — a rising talent out of Franklin, Tennessee, has just dropped “You Caught My Eye,” a track that feels like a slow spin in a sun-drenched kitchen with someone you’re quietly, madly in love with. It’s all about that magical moment when someone truly grabs your attention — and we’re here for the whole lovestruck ride.
HELN wears every hat on this one — songwriter, arranger, performer — you can hear the personal touch in every second. It’s heartfelt, intimate, and full of genuine emotion. Think of it as a love letter wrapped in delicate strings and soft piano, with just the right sprinkle of cinematic orchestration. (She cites The Holiday soundtrack as an influence, and that whimsical Hans Zimmer flair absolutely peeks through.)
Sonically, “You Caught My Eye” leans into a light, airy sound that feels like golden hour bottled into 3 minutes and 30 seconds. If JVKE’s romantic pop sensibility had a brunch date with a movie score, this is the song that would play in the background.
This was HELN’s first time recording in a professional studio, and you’d never guess it. She recorded at producer Dr. Ford’s studio in Nashville — a setup that somehow manages to be both legit and comforting. HELN’s confession about being a bit shy is very relatable. But thanks to a quirky (and totally genius) vocal booth design where nobody could really see her during takes, she let it all out — and the result is effortless vocal magic.

Lyrically, the song is inspired by the sweetest kind of muse: her husband. And you can feel that in every line. This isn’t some generic pop crush anthem. It’s vulnerable, sincere, and grounded in real love — the kind that surprises you and quietly takes your breath away.
There are no live shows on the books yet, but we have a feeling that’s going to change. Because if HELN keeps delivering music like this — delicate, romantic, and self-assured — she won’t be just “one to watch,” she’ll be the one you’ve been waiting for.
So if you’re in the mood for something sweet, honest, and totally swoon-worthy, give “You Caught My Eye” a spin. And maybe, just maybe, it’ll catch yours too.
“You Caught My Eye” is available now on all major streaming platforms
