Olivia Millin Takes Over Times Square In Bold New “TTYL” Video

Rising J-Pop star Olivia Millin is having a moment, and she’s letting everyone know with a confident, neon-lit mic drop. The 20-year-old singer-songwriter just dropped the official music video for her breakout single “TTYL,” and it’s nothing short of a cinematic glow-up.

Shot under the dazzling lights of Times Square and directed by Zane of Zane Productions, the video brings Millin’s anthem of self-worth and emotional freedom to life with bold choreography, striking visuals, and a radiant sense of personal power.

“‘TTYL’ is about telling toxic people that their time in your headspace is over,” Millin shares. “I wrote it as a letter to my past self, an anthem for anyone ready to choose self-love over someone else’s emotional baggage.”

That message rings loud and clear, both in the visuals and the track itself. Mixing bilingual lyrics with trap-laced beats and punchy J-Pop energy, “TTYL” draws sonic inspiration from artists like BLACKPINK and BabyMonster while staying true to Millin’s signature sound, equal parts fierce and vulnerable. Lines like “I tried to make you happy / But you made it look so ugly” hit especially hard, while the chorus’s repeated “Talk to you later” becomes a triumphant rallying cry for anyone finally walking away from gaslighters and game-players.

The video captures that energy perfectly. Millin struts through NYC in rhinestones and red, surrounded by a crew of dancers moving in sync with the song’s message of strength. It’s not just a performance; it’s a public reclaiming of space and identity, something Millin has been building her career on since day one.

Since its release, “TTYL” has taken off in a big way:

• No. 1 on iTunes J-Pop charts in both the US and UK

• Climbed the Mediabase Activator Top 40 radio airplay chart

• Top 10 on National Radio Hits AC and Top 40 lists

• #34 on the New Music Weekly Hot 100

But Olivia Millin is no overnight success. Originally from Sarasota, Florida, and now studying Japanese Liberal Arts at a top northeastern university, she’s been laying the groundwork for this moment since childhood. She wrote her first single at age 12, and by 20, she’s released a full-length J-Pop album, scored international chart hits like “Broken Piece of Joy,” and developed a loyal fanbase drawn to her fearless sense of self. Her 2024 album Start Again marked a major breakthrough, blending her love of artists like Yoasobi and Atarashii Gakkou with theatrical vocals and anthemic songwriting.

Beyond the music, what sets Millin apart is her mission. Drawing from difficult personal experiences, she’s turned her art into a platform for resilience and self-empowerment. Every lyric, every look, and every bold move, like taking over Times Square with “TTYL”, is a statement: she’s not just here to be heard. She’s here to be seen.
