yung kai Shares Yearning and Warmth on “i think of you the most” and “stay with me?”

yung kai, the moniker of Burnaby, BC musician Max Zhang, has recently shared two new tracks, “i think of you the most” and “stay with me?”
The two songs make for a lovely pairing, with both showcasing his gentle, moody approach to lo-fi indie alternative pop while exploring different sides of longing and affection.

“i think of you the most” was first previewed for fans during yung kai’s stay with the ocean, i’ll find you North American tour.
True to the themes that have run throughout his music, the track captures that feeling of yearning and uncertainty, with heavily acoustic production giving the song an intimate and almost dreamlike quality.
There is something wonderfully understated about “i think of you the most.”
Rather than going for a huge emotional climax, yung kai lets the acoustic textures and restrained production carry the weight of the song.
It feels personal and reflective, like being left alone with your thoughts and realizing just how much you miss someone.

As a companion to the track, “stay with me” takes a slightly different direction.
Also previewed during the tour, the song leans into more upbeat production, providing a lighter and warmer counterpart to the melancholy of “i think of you the most.”
The two tracks work particularly well together because they explore similar emotional territory without sounding like the same song twice.

“I’m so excited to finally give my fans my new song ‘i think of you the most’ and a surprise track ‘stay with me?’,” yung kai shared. “I’ve been sharing them on socials for a bit now and playing them live for the past few months and I’ve loved seeing how much everyone enjoyed these songs.”

After hearing these songs live and seeing them finally make their official release, fans get to experience the two sides of yung kai’s latest work: the quiet uncertainty of “i think of you the most” and the more hopeful energy of “stay with me.”
Together, the songs are another strong showcase of Max Zhang’s ability to turn intimate feelings into soft, atmospheric indie pop.
If you’re looking for something gentle, dreamy and emotionally vulnerable, these two yung kai tracks are definitely worth spending some time with.
