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.

Oh
Find this feeling like a war
And I'm too proud to fall
I'm building myself a wall
From this love that I can't ignore
But I can't afford getting hurt again
So I'm just going to take a step back
Please don't stand too close to me
Please don't stand too close to me
You know it's not hard to see
Boy you stole my heart from me
But you gave me a change of view
Never met anyone like you
And you know that I feel it too
But I'm just scared of something new
This heart beat's tricking me into wanting to fall in love with you
And I can't find a reason to walk away
And you keep finding reasons to stay
Please don't stand too close to me
Please don't stand too close to me
You know it's not hard to see
Boy you stole my heart from me
Even though I don't say anything to you I think that by now you should know
Yeah
Even though you won't say anything it's obvious that this is a new love
Yeah
You're tricking me into wanting to come close to you
And I can't afford getting hurt again
So I'm just going to take a step back
Please don't stand too close to me
Please don't stand too close to me
You know it's not hard to see
Boy you stole my heart from me
Even though I don't say anything to you I think that by now you should know
Yeah
Even though you won't say anything it's obvious that this is a new love
Yeah
Ooh
Let this heart beat
Lead you
through
In Yuna's song "Too Close," the singer speaks about grappling with the fear of falling in love and being vulnerable with someone. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been hurt in the past, and while she has strong feelings for her current partner, she's hesitant to get too close out of fear of being hurt again. Yuna admits to building a wall and trying to distance herself from her partner, all while battling her own heart- knowing that it yearns to be close to this person. The singer ultimately chooses to take a step back to protect herself from getting hurt once again, despite acknowledging the clear connection they share. The song emotes contemplation and fear of the unknown, making it a relatable and emotional take on the difficulties of love.
Interestingly, "Too Close" was not originally a single from Yuna's self-titled album but saw a rise in popularity once it was played as part of the soundtrack in the hit Netflix rom-com "To All the Boys I've Loved Before." The song had previously been featured on the soundtrack for the MTV show "Faking It."
