We all need a ‘Lifeline’ from time to time when we’re drowning in the global maelstrom, and NAYAH discovered the need for hers when she found herself engulfed by her own thoughts and insecurities, mindful of reaching out for a lifebelt called love.
More specifically, she encountered the feeling of being trapped in her own bad decisions and self-criticism, overwhelmed with loneliness and insecurity, but not daring to reach out, and the relief that comes with admitting you can’t always stand strong on your own when it ain’t exactly raining men, hallelujah.
“There’s a tidal wave in me/Full of insecurity “
‘Lifeline’ was written on an autumn evening at a remote farmhouse, with nothing but a keyboard. Since then it has taken on a life of its own, burgeoning into a cinematic blockbuster in a mere three minutes.
“The chorus describes the moment”, she says, “when you finally admit that you need that special person to be your lifeline. Love can be what keeps you grounded when you might otherwise drift away.”
She’s known for her ability to write songs that balance attitude with emotion, such as her seminal 2015 single ‘Bad Bitches’ but with ‘Lifeline’ she’s put the attitude to bed, preferring to showcase fragility, vulnerability and intimacy.
And of course that’s always a turn on for the average Joe.
Dunno about you but I’m already stripping down to my speedos, flexing my pecs ready to dive in and save her. Only metaphorically of course, you wouldn’t want to see that. Oh no.
‘Lifeline’ is the third single from NAYAH’s forthcoming debut album set for release in 2026. Perhaps she’ll find that the lifebelt comes from a ship called Dignity.
