History
Soft Soft Pillow was formed during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The band's initial members, including lead vocalist and guitarist Wee, met and connected online. During the lockdown period, they collaborated through weekly video conferences, co-writing and accumulating a collection of songs. In 2021, as the pandemic situation improved, they met in person and began rehearsing together while recording their debut album. The original lineup consisted of Ting Huang Wee "wee" (band leader, lead vocalist, and guitarist), Mohamad Faridz Husiani Bin Hassan "Faridz" (guitarist), Yan Kar Chong "Yinn" (synthesizer player), Lee Tat Boon "Darwin" (bassist), and Ooh Jenn Haur “Addison” (drummer). After Darwin and Addison left the band in 2023, Chong Kar Lok "Jerald" and Ong Yu Kai "Ralph" joined as the new bassist and drummer.

Soft Soft Pillow released their first single, "Pillowsophy" on May 1, 2022, followed by their self-titled debut album in September of the same year. They released the album through their independent music label, "耳福音樂" (Eargasm Music Label). In keeping with their retro spirit and aesthetic, the album was released in cassette tape format along with a specially designed player (walkman). On August 21, 2022, they held their first live performance at the vintage clothing store Show Your Pink, themed as "Sleepink with Soft Soft Pillow," where the audience attended wearing pajamas. Since their debut performance, they have embarked on a series of tours across Malaysia, accumulating a total of 10 shows.

In 2023, Soft Soft Pillow was nominated for the Fresh Music Award for Best New Group, TAMA Rising Star, and Album Recommendation. Soft Soft Pillow won the TAMA Rising Star award.
