1) Yunalis binti Mat Zara… Read Full Bio ↴There are multiple artists with this name.
1) Yunalis binti Mat Zara'ai (born 14 November 1986 in Alor Setar, Kedah, Malaysia), professionally known as Yuna, is an acoustic/alternative/pop singer-songwriter originating from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and is now based in Kuala Lumpur and Los Angeles, US. She began making a mark for herself in the local independent scene in 2007, before releasing her demo in February 2008. Her debut EP, Yuna EP, was released in October 2008. Her debut album was finally released in July 2010, titled Decorate.
Yuna has been cementing herself in the local scene with complementary comparisons to the likes of Norah Jones and Rachael Yamagata. Her influences include Fiona Apple, Feist, Lykke Li, Sia, Bob Dylan and The Cardigans. Yuna describes her music as "a cross between Mary Poppins and Coldplay".
One of the first few people who expressed interest in her music was Farhan Fadzlishah aka Pa'an (Telephony Delivery), who later became her supporting guitarist. Along the way, Efry Arwis (Lightcraft) helped her with the bass while Adib handled the drums. Adil Ali (Seven Collar T-shirt) replaced Adib after the latter quit to concentrate on his drumming role in Oh Chentaku.
Yuna was eventually discovered in the US by the Indie-Pop record label and management company. They flew out to Malaysia to convince her to sign with them and then proceeded to get her a deal with Fader Label, a record label based in New York, in February 2011. She released her debut US EP, Decorate - EP, in the United States in March the same year. In February 2012, Yuna released her second Malaysian full-length album, Terukir Di Bintang. Her self-titled US full-length album, Yuna, was released on April 24, 2012.

Got that talk talk talk
Got that swagger-er-er
Such a glamor-or-or
You're like a real life doll
With your hand that falls
Like niagara-a-a
Cause that don't change the fact
That your heart is black
You can't tear me down
Beat me to the ground
Try to block my sunshine
My blue skies with your clouds
And who do you think you are
Yeah that won't get you far
You may think you\'re pretty
But you'll see that beauty
Is a fading flower
Fading flow-ow-ow-ower
Fading flow-ow-ow-ower
You'll only play play play
If you get your way always
In the center-er-er
Of attentio-io-ion
All the lying
And the cheating
The mistreating
How you even sleep at ni-igh-igh-ight
Blows my mi-I-I-ind
I wonder when you'll see
That you don't bother me
So you can't tear me down
Beat me to the ground
Try to block my sunshine,
My blue skies with your clouds
And who do you think you are
Yeah that won't get you far
You may think you're pretty
But you'll see that beauty
Is a fading flower
Fading flow-ow-ow-ower
Fading flow-ow-ow-ower
I spent all of my youth
Trying to be you
Thought that you were special
That you were beautiful
But the more of you I see
The more I'm glad I'm me
Cause you can't tear me down
Beat me to the ground
Try to block my sunshine
My blue skies with your clouds
And who do you think you are
Yeah that won't get you far (that won't get you far)
You may think you're pretty
But you'll see that beauty
Is a fading flower
Fading flow-ow-ow-ower (fading flower)
Fading flow-ow-ow-ower (fading flower)
In "Fading Flower," Yuna sings about a person she once idolized, someone who seemed perfect on the outside with their walk, talk, and swagger. They were like a real-life doll with stunning looks, but as Yuna gets to know them better, she realizes that their heart is black. The person tries to tear her down, lies and cheats, mistreats others, and always seeks attention. Yuna doesn't let this person's toxic behavior get to her and recognizes that true beauty comes from within, something that this person lacks, and that everything they have - their looks, their charm - is a "fading flower," shallow and unsustainable, just like their personality.
The lyrics express Yuna's journey of looking up to someone who is portrayed as perfect but coming to realize that they are far from it. The song describes the pitfalls of idolization and how it can be harmful when the person being idolized turns out to have a toxic nature. Yuna sings about the importance of self-love and how focusing on the external features can lead to a lack of focus on the heart and the soul.
The song contains several metaphors to express these feelings. The idea of a "fading flower" implies that external beauty is temporary and fleeting, while the heart is what truly matters. The use of the phrase "block my sunshine, my blue skies with your clouds" also has a deeper meaning, referring to the negative impact this person has on her life.
Overall, "Fading Flower" is a powerful song about the negative impact of idolization and the importance of self-love and recognizing real beauty.

You got that walk walk walk
You have a confident walk that is noticeable
Got that talk talk talk
You have good communication skills
Got that swagger-er-er
You exude confidence and style
Such a glamor-or-or
You are elegant and sophisticated
You're like a real life doll
You appear perfect and flawless like a doll
With your hand that falls
Your movements are elegant and effortless
Like niagara-a-a
Your hand movement is fluid and graceful like a waterfall
But that don't matter-er-er
However, your external appearance doesn't matter as much
Cause that don't change the fact
It doesn't change the fact
That your heart is black
That you have a bad character
You can't tear me down
You can't hurt me emotionally
Beat me to the ground
You can't defeat me or make me feel inferior
Try to block my sunshine
You can't stop me from being happy
My blue skies with your clouds
You can't ruin my good mood with your negativity
And who do you think you are
You have no right to act superior
Yeah that won't get you far
You won't succeed with that attitude
You may think you're pretty
You might feel confident about your looks
But you'll see that beauty
You will come to realize that beauty
Is a fading flower
Doesn't last forever
Fading flow-ow-ow-ower
Beauty fading away
You'll only play play play
You manipulate situations to work in your favor
If you get your way always
You always want things to go according to your wishes
In the center-er-er
To be the main focus of attention
Of attentio-io-ion
Getting noticed by others
All the lying
You lie
And the cheating
You cheat
The mistreating
You treat others badly
How you even sleep at ni-igh-igh-ight
You have a guilty conscience and have trouble sleeping at night
Blows my mi-I-I-ind
I'm shocked and surprised by your actions
I wonder when you'll see
I wonder if you will ever understand
That you don't bother me
That I am not affected by you
I spent all of my youth
I wasted my younger years
Trying to be you
Trying to be like you
Thought that you were special
Believed that you were unique
That you were beautiful
Believed that you were physically attractive
But the more of you I see
However, the more I get to know you
The more I'm glad I'm me
The more I appreciate who I am
Yeah that won't get you far (that won't get you far)
Your current attitude is not going to lead to long-term success
Fading flow-ow-ow-ower (fading flower)
Beauty is temporary, and it will eventually fade away
Fading flow-ow-ow-ower (fading flower)
A repeated reminder of the transience of beauty

Slow down there
