2020 was a busy year for Malaysian R&B singer-songwriter Yuna. Not only did she come up with ‘Invisible,’ the unlikely sequel to one of her hit songs, have one of her songs included in Apple Music Malaysia’s 100 best songs, and stream a concert live from one of Asia’s largest aquariums, Aquaria KLCC. She also released her newest bop ‘Dance Like Nobody’s Watching,’ her newest single made available in December last year.
And it seems like all her hard work had paid off. Early in January, ‘Dance Like Nobody’s Watching’ hit a million plays on Spotify, with more than 200,000 streams coming from the Philippines.
A soulful bop, ‘Dance Like Nobody’s Watching’ – or DLNW – talks about finding peace by being comfortable in one’s skin. It encapsulates the message of fully loving one’s self (without relying on anyone to do so) in a catchy, dancey tune that inspires one to get on their feet and move.
“DLNW is a song about dancing out your heartbreak.” shares Yuna. “It’s based on my personal experience after going through a heartbreak. I never thought about it like that like, ‘hey, you can turn on your favorite song and dance your feelings away.’ I eventually found love for dancing and it was very liberating.”
Aside from her initial viral success online, Yuna is also known for her breakout single ‘Crush,’ which was recorded in collaboration with Usher. She then performed in Manila for the first time at Wanderland Music and Arts Festival in 2017.
Yuna also garnered a total of 49.9 million Spotify streams of her music, as seen on her Spotify Wrapped artist figures. At the moment, the Philippines remains the top country to stream DLNW.
