Delilah was an English singer who had a number one hit in the UK in 2020 with her song “Why Why Why”.
In 2020, Delilah topped the charts in the UK with her song “Why Why Why”. The lyrics to this song have been a source of much confusion over the years, as many people believe that Delilah is singing about her lover who has died. In reality, however, it was actually written about her pet dog who passed away shortly after she wrote it.
Who is Delilah?
Delilah was an English singer born in 1992 and raised in London. She had a number one hit on the UK Singles Chart in 2020 with her song “Why Why Why”. This made her the youngest female artist to top the chart since Kylie Minogue did so aged 15 back in 1988. It also meant that she became only the third British female artist to reach number one without any other help from another musician or group.
