Onur Sevigen’s New Single ‘ORDINARY PEOPLE’ Hits All Major Digital Platforms
London-based artist ONUR sends a message of hope to the “ordinary people” of the world.
Onur Sevigen, who now goes by the artist name ONUR for his English songs, has released a heartfelt new single titled ‘ORDINARY PEOPLE.’ Based in London, the city where he was born and raised, ONUR draws attention to the struggles of everyday people while delivering an uplifting message: “Don’t lose hope.”

An Anthem for the Everyday Dreamer
In ‘ORDINARY PEOPLE,’ ONUR speaks directly to individuals navigating life’s relentless demands—working long hours, managing finances, and chasing dreams while facing the reality of an 8-to-5 routine. Through his soulful falsetto and poignant lyrics, he tells listeners:
“I see the exhaustion in your eyes, but don’t give up hope. Everything will get better.”
The song’s blend of eclectic tempos and genres showcases ONUR’s signature sound. Known as a pioneer of Turkish hyper-pop for his use of Anatolian music and instruments in his Turkish tracks, ONUR’s English releases take a broader, international approach. With its emotional depth and refusal to surrender to despair, ‘ORDINARY PEOPLE’ resonates universally.
The Story Behind the Song
ONUR explains the inspiration for his latest single:
“I wrote ‘ORDINARY PEOPLE’ because I’ve seen how the daily grind wears people down. Whether it’s in Istanbul or London, everyone seems to be in a constant battle to make ends meet. From working two jobs to coping with rising costs, life has become overwhelming. I wanted to write a song that acknowledges this struggle while reminding people that hope and resilience can carry them forward.”
From London to Istanbul and Back Again
ONUR first gained recognition in 2018 with his English-language music, receiving praise from platforms like EARMILK, Hoxton Radio, and 1883 Magazine. His early success even caught the attention of EDM legend Martin Garrix.
During the pandemic, ONUR returned to Turkey and began releasing Turkish songs, including hits like ‘Paranı Ver,’ ‘Yaşasın Aman,’ and ‘Az Bile.’ His work brought him acclaim as one of Turkey’s most innovative musical voices. However, ONUR has now returned to his London roots, focusing on English music to reach a global audience.
Following his recent English single ‘My Way,’ ONUR is setting the stage for his next chapter with ‘ORDINARY PEOPLE,’ blending heartfelt storytelling with his unique soundscapes.
