SHAB – ‘BEST OF ALL TIME’
August 21st
“Her sound and stage presence channeled the golden era of early-2000s pop divas, evoking Christina Aguilera’s fire and Britney Spears’ Toxic-era edge, especially during her fierce, flirtatious performances …. The crowd responded in kind, singing, dancing, and cheering as if watching a global superstar in the making.” – Yahoo News
“[SHAB] has grown into an artist whose work exists as both entertainment and expression, channeling personal history, cultural identity and unapologetic pop ambition into a sound that resonates far beyond the dancefloor.” – FAULT Magazine
Following the release of her chart-rising and intoxicating single ‘PERFUME,’ global pop sensation SHAB is setting disco-pop alight with her euphoric new single, ‘BEST OF ALL TIME.’ The second instalment of three powerful singles emerging from an incredible series of songwriting sessions in early 2026 with longtime collaborator Damon Sharpe together with A-list songwriters Bonnie McKee and British-American hitmaker JHart, the track is a glittering celebration of resilience and hope, wrapped in a joyous message to choose happiness above all else.
Timeless yet fresh, the record channels the nostalgic, dance-floor energy of Kylie Minogue while radiating the modern pop confidence of Dua Lipa. Once again, SHAB weaves subtle Persian melodies and intricate rhythms throughout the track, intertwining the heritage and culture that are deeply rooted in both who she is and the music she creates.
Regardless of emotion, background or current state of mind, SHAB delivers an anthem designed to help listeners dance it all away. Whether you’re overflowing with happiness, navigating heartbreak, feeling angry, celebrating a victory or simply trying to make it through another day, this infectious and uplifting single encourages everyone to get up on their feet and dance through the tears, laughter and uncertainty that exist throughout our lives.
At its heart, ‘BEST OF ALL TIME’ is an ode to the people who stand beside us, believe in us and remind us of our inner strength when we sometimes lose sight of it ourselves. Paying tribute to the unwavering support of our inner circles — family, lovers, friends and those who continuously inspire us to embrace the best versions of ourselves — the song is a reminder to be stronger, braver and more resilient. Wrapped in a freeing pop anthem, SHAB shares that the track delivers a powerful message: when the right people are by your side, nothing can bring you down.
‘BEST OF ALL TIME is about the people who stand beside us, believe in us and remind us of our strength when we need it, our family, our lovers, our friends and the people who inspire us to become our best selves. The track is also my celebration of resilience, hope and choosing joy. Whether I’m happy, heartbroken, angry, celebrating or simply trying to make it through another day, it’s my reminder to dance
The release of ‘BEST OF ALL TIME’ follows a period of extraordinary momentum for SHAB. Her current release, ‘PERFUME REMIX VIP,’ during this week became her fifth career Billboard Top 40 charting single: and her recent collaboration with Preston Harris, ‘IT’S ON YOU, surged to No. 15 on the Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart for her fourth career Billboard Top 40 charting single, placing her alongside Bruno Mars, RAYE and PinkPantheress as one of 2026’s most talked-about pop forces. That track followed two other Billboard Top 40 chart breakthroughs over the last eight months, with ‘LIPSTICK’ breaking into the U.S. pop charts during the latter half of 2025 as well as ‘SKIN & BONES – VIP” during the first months of 2026.
After escaping radical fundamentalism in Iran as an eight-year-old and almost five years spent separated from her family while in a German boarding school, SHAB arrived alone as a young teenager in New York carrying everything she owned in a single suitcase: a moment that would later shape her sophomore double album, ‘One Suitcase’, but also her entire artistic voice. Speaking only Farsi and German upon reaching America, she learnt flawless English while working multiple jobs through her secondary school and university years. She briefly attended law school but ultimately left to follow music, the one creative discipline that made her feel fully alive and free. Today, SHAB stands not only as a global pop artist but also as a powerful voice advocating for women’s rights in Iran and speaking openly against what she has called the “gangster regime” in Tehran, turning her platform into both a creative and cultural force.
Her sound, emotional, electronic and global, has become unmistakably her own but continues to evolve while rooted in authenticity and connection. And her live performances have electrified audiences, with a reviewer of her late 2025 U.S. tour with The Wanted observing that “her performance style combined Jennifer Lopez’s show-stopping confidence with Shakira’s hypnotic rhythm and fluid grace, every move charged with emotion and intent.”
With tens of millions of YouTube views and Spotify streams as well as a rapidly expanding global audience, SHAB’s rise has been powered not just by numbers but by resonance. Her story and her sound have earned coverage across Rolling Stone, Newsweek, HotPress, The Independent, Daily Mirror, Daily Express, Wonderland, Big Issue, Flaunt, and METAL Magazine, alongside cover features in FHM and Marie Claire.
