Nawaf, also known as Nofy Fannan, was one third of my original trio Euphrates. Nofy was the mastermind and one half of the producer duo Sandhill, who I still work with closely. This beat was the last song he gave me before he passed away.

This song is about the hardships of being an independent musician, and balancing it with life, friendship and love. It is based on true experiences I’ve had with friends of mine who I’ve lost touch with, not from malice or intention of my heart, but from time and work on the grind. They took it the wrong way. I am to blame, but so are they. I know you can relate, as we all go through these types of moments in our frienships. By the end of the song, you can see that there’s no love lost, and that I will always stand by the people that stand or stood by me in my life.

Nia, referring to Nia Long. For years, I was looking for my Queen, until I found her.

Nia is also the arabic word for ‘Intention’. In Islam, your intention as an individual, is almost more important than the act itself.
