Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as 2023 single by Tems. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q123171157. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2023, 2021 and 2022.
