“Be The One” - Ticket To The Universe

Ticket To The Universe is not your typical up-and-coming pop artist. Hailing from Lenart, Slovenia, they’re doing something that feels both wildly personal and deeply universal: making music out of obsession, longing, and sheer willpower — with nothing but a living room studio and a burning desire to be seen.
Their latest single, “Be The One”, released April 8, 2025, is a raw, heart-on-the-sleeve pop track that refuses to be boxed in. Equal parts romantic ballad and glittering, soul-infused groove, it doesn’t just ask to be heard — it begs to be felt.
This isn’t just a song — it’s a mission statement.
Everything about “Be The One” says DIY — in the most affectionate, punk-turned-pop kind of way. It was recorded solo in a makeshift home studio, with vocals and acoustic guitar laid down with a humble mic and the rest built out in Logic Pro. But don’t mistake “homemade” for “half-baked.” The production is surprisingly full, from the punchy bass lines to the shiny horn samples that feel like something out of a soulful space disco dream.
And yet, it’s not about the polish — it’s about the personality. And this song is overflowing with it.
Ticket To The Universe writes about a girl who sounds like a myth in motion: mysterious, wounded, magical, unreachable. That mixture of starry-eyed fantasy and raw, messy devotion is exactly what fuels the lyrics of “Be The One.”
It’s about someone who’s been through hell, who’s survived heartbreak after heartbreak, and yet still shines. And it’s about the artist reaching out, through this song, in a kind of hopeful, chaotic plea.

This isn’t an overnight thing. Ticket To The Universe has lived through the starts and stops — bands that broke up, friends who left music behind, and the slow realization that if anything’s going to happen, they’re going to have to do it solo.
What’s refreshing is how open they are about all of it — the failures, the doubts — transparency bleeds into the music and gives it the one thing every hit needs: authenticity.
“Be The One” is catchy. It’s full of feeling. You can dance to it, cry to it, or vibe with it on a rainy walk home. It’s pop with a pulse.
Right now, there are no tours, no shows, no fancy video productions. Just one artist in a small Slovenian town, dreaming big and working with what they’ve got. And that, honestly, is the most rock ‘n roll thing of all. The studio? A dining room table where birthday cakes have been cut. The mixing gear? A laptop, an ear, and a gut instinct.
Would they love to record at Abbey Road — absolutely. But in the meantime, they’re crafting songs with sweat, heartache, and a belief that something better is possible. And that belief radiates.
“Be The One” isn’t just a song — it’s a symbol. It’s proof that pop music can still be handmade, heartfelt, and soaked in romantic idealism without being corny. It’s the sound of someone saying, “I’m tired of being a nobody — I want to be a star.” And not in a fame-hungry way. In a purpose way.
And isn’t that why we all fell in love with music in the first place?
Keep an eye on Ticket To The Universe. He’s not just writing songs — he’s building a universe of his own, one lo-fi pop gem at a time. And the stars? They’re starting to notice.
