"Pointless Relationship" (2004) is the debut song released by Tammin from her first album Whatever Will Be. The song was co-written by Norwegian singer Marion Raven for her debut solo album, but was given to Tammin instead.
Background and release
It was announced by Sursok that she will be pursuing a career in music, with her debut single, "Pointless Relationship", being released on November 14, 2004. The single was planned for a UK release on 5 September 2005 and then 19 September 2005, but was cancelled due to Tammin being contracted to a movie, which failed to materialize.[1]
"My debut single "Pointless Relationship" is about a girl's view of where the relationship is going with her partner and it sounds like a negative term. But the song is more of an empowering song from a woman's perspective! It's the life of them together and it's just never going to go where it should go, and so she's saying to him this is a pointless relationship."
— Tammin, on the song during an interview.
