Dear Days

STA.malia latest single ''Dear Days'' marks her first collaboration with Osaka-based DJ SARA.
The track is an alternative R&B piece characterized by a delicate melodic line and a floating, atmospheric beat. Layered with STA.malia emotional and bittersweet vocals, it creates a crossover sound rooted in Japanese R&B while incorporating elements of Japanese hip-hop and J-pop.
The lyrics portray a journey of holding onto dreams despite past wounds and harsh realities, continuing to move forward through music. Drawing from experiences that felt like ''drinking muddy water,'' STA.malia expresses her life with raw honesty and unfiltered words.
It reflects her love for family, the determination born from having someone to protect, and her resolve to keep singing ''until her voice fades.'' Carrying dreams, pain, and love, this song embodies the reason she keeps moving forward-
''My reason to live.''
