Through her most recent project, "Everybody's Baby," Eylsia brings us back to the realization that music is not only melodies but also a testament of truth, perseverance, and faith. The song comes with a backstory as interesting as the road that leads from the tennis courts at Wimbledon and during the U.S. Open to the quiet moments of reflection that follow when life slams you into a crossroad and forces a new direction.
Once the youngest winner of the Irish Open, Eylsia has experienced being enveloped by friends and admirers at the height of success, and how quickly those circles can shrink after an injury sets in, along with the uncertainty that follows. "Everybody's Baby" wears that duality on its sleeve, the euphoria at being hoisted and the loneliness when the spotlight dims. However, the song is not a lament, instead, it evolves into a profoundly personal testimony to faith, struggle, and the curative power of art.
Her voice possesses an uncommon warmth, simultaneously tender and resolute, that allows the listener to feel the pain of loss and find comfort in surrender. Her delivery is intimate, as if each line were written like a pep talk to herself and, by extension, anyone who has ever felt discarded by circumstance.
What's astonishing is Eylsia's refusal to accept bitterness. And even in an industry that rejected her because of her medical condition, she has a deft way with humor, grace, and unshakable faith in God's plan. It's a spirit that runs through the track, transforming "Everybody's Baby" into more than just a song, but a song of lived resilience. Eylsia's tale is a reminder that victories are not only earned on tennis courts, they are shaped by the songs we sing after the game changes. And on "Everybody's Baby," she offers a touching anthem of faith that sticks with you long after the music subsides.
