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.
2) Shin Yu-na (Korean: 신유나; born December 9, 2003), known mononymously as YUNA (유나) is a South Korean rapper and singer, and member of South Korean girl group ITZY.
She has had multiple solo projects, including covers of famous Korean and English songs. She had her first digital release with “Yet, But” as part of ITZY’s sophomore album “BORN TO BE”.

Ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh
I know we've been taking some time from each other
Sometimes distance can bring two people back together
Mmh, I went away but all I did was missing you
I prayed every night
For someone to mend my broken heart
When I couldn't see the light
You're walking with me in the dark
And all this time
You were right there from the start
All I asked from you is just
To stay where you are
Ohh, ohh, ohh (ohh)
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh (ohh), ohh (ohh), ohh (ohh)
Ohh (ooh, ohh), ohh, ohh
I have been fighting all my demons away
So that I could become the best thing you have
Mmh, the only person who understands me is you
Mmh, the only life I ever wanted is with you
I prayed every night
For someone to mend my broken heart
When I couldn't see the light
You walked with me in the dark
And all this time
You were right there from the start
All I asked from you is just
To stay where you are
Ohh, ohh, ohh (i prayed every night)
Ohh, ohh, ohh (mend my broken heart)
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh
I prayed every night
For someone to mend my broken heart
When I couldn't see the light
You're walking with me in the dark
And all this time
You were right there from the start
All I asked from you is just
To stay where you are
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh
In “Stay”, Yuna sings about being separated from someone she loves, and realizing that distance can serve as a way of reminding someone how important they are to you. She admits that she was selfish but has now realized that the only life she wants is with this person. When she couldn't see the light, they were walking with her in the dark. Yuna emphasizes the importance of someone staying in the same place, to remain a steady and reliable presence in her life. The song is about discovering that the love and support of another person can help you become your best self.
Throughout the song, Yuna uses repetition to express the depth of her feelings. She repeats the “ohh, ohh, ohh” throughout the song which conveys the passion and intensity of her emotions. The line, “I prayed every night, for someone to mend my broken heart, when I couldn't see the light” suggests a sense of helplessness, while the line, “all I asked from you is just to stay where you are” expresses the importance of the presence of someone in her life. Her lyrics show how distance can be an opportunity for reflection and growth, and it can help appreciate the people you love.

Ohh, ohh, ohh
Repetition of sounds expressing strong emotions.
I know we've been taking some time from each other
We have been spending time apart.
Sometimes distance can bring two people back together
Being apart can lead to reunification.
Mmh, I went away but all I did was missing you
I left, but all I did was think of you.
Mmh, I was selfish but I came back to tell you
I was self-centered, but I returned to speak.
I prayed every night
I've been praying incessantly.
For someone to mend my broken heart
I prayed for healing my bruised heart.
When I couldn't see the light
When I was lost...
You're walking with me in the dark
You helped me navigate through the darkness.
And all this time
For all this time...
You were right there from the start
You were always there, from the beginning.
All I asked from you is just
All I requested was for you to...
To stay where you are
Stay where you are, don't leave.
I have been fighting all my demons away
I've been battling against my inner demons.
So that I could become the best thing you have
So that I could be the best part of your life.
Mmh, the only person who understands me is you
You're the only one who gets me.
Mmh, the only life I ever wanted is with you
I only wanted a life with you.

Sometimes I forget that one of my favorite artists is Muslim, and as a Christian I love that. And this song made me think that staying at home is a good moment to learn about why the Black Lives Matter Movement is so important... we are all important no matter what your system says about your ethnicity, religion or color of skin, Black Lives Matter too. ✊🏼✊🏻🖤✊🏾✊🏿
