Maithili Raelle Chooses Herself On Soulful New Single “I Choose Me”

At 22, New Jersey-raised R&B singer Maithili Raelle is turning self-worth, independence, and protecting your peace into music.
The rising artist delivers that message on her latest single, “I Choose Me,” featuring recording artist Hiii Siddity. The soulful collaboration finds Raelle embracing the power of putting herself first while continuing to shape a sound rooted in emotional storytelling and contemporary R&B.
“I Choose Me” follows Raelle’s breakout single, “Used To Love,” which sampled Usher’s “You Remind Me” and surpassed 350,000 streams. While that record explored the complications of love, her latest release shifts the conversation toward what happens when choosing yourself becomes necessary.
The song centers on recognizing when a relationship, situation, or person no longer aligns with your growth. Raelle approaches the subject through a perspective that extends beyond romance, touching on boundaries, emotional clarity, and the importance of protecting your peace.
Her message arrives as self-care and self-worth continue to shape conversations around modern relationships and personal growth. Rather than framing independence as isolation, “I Choose Me” presents it as an acknowledgment of one’s value.
Hiii Siddity adds another dimension to the track, complementing Raelle’s soulful delivery with contemporary R&B energy. Their collaboration gives the record a broader perspective while keeping its central message intact.
For Raelle, the single also marks another step in her artistic evolution. “Used To Love” introduced listeners to her ability to translate complicated emotions into music. “I Choose Me” offers a more assured look at the artist behind those emotions.
The result is an R&B record built around a simple declaration: knowing your worth sometimes means choosing yourself.
At a stage in her career where her voice and perspective continue to develop, Raelle is making self-respect part of her musical identity. With Hiii Siddity alongside her, “I Choose Me” gives that perspective a soulful soundtrack.
