"Stay Strong" marks the first major release under a label by barbadian singer Aliya Rose, since January 2016's "All My Dollas" feat. Cosma Mendoza under Kaleidoscope Records. In between the break, Aliya released a Charity Single which peaked at #2 and significantly helped several charity foundations who bring attention to domestic violence & help the victims. She also released a promo-single "Soldier" which had close to no success. With a length of 3 minutes and 31 seconds, "Stay Strong" is a Pop/EDM mid-tempo song produced bz Alan Walker and written by Aliya Rose. Lyrically, the song is about staying strong through all the hate.
"You need to stay strong/Gotta, stay strong/Forget these words, all that pain/Overcome the hurt, stay on your feet/Gotta, gotta stay strong". Through the song, Aliya asks how hate has become so normal and why we degrade eachother to make things even worse. Questioning Society and it's standarts.
"Celebrating hate is now so normal (So Normal)/When did this become so normal?"ALIYA ROSE ON "STAY STRONG"Quote:"I'm very happy to be back on the scene with a song like this. The Songwriting overall has been such a magical experience, it's me questioning our society, life and love. It's me trying to uplift my fans and myself. Closing a chapter and opening up a new one. When I wrote 'Stay Strong', it was crystal clear that it would be my first single after my break. Alan Walker was a great producer to work with and gave the song a whole new perspective. Most of the time, fans expect something slow when you're deep with your lyrics. But that's not what I had in mind. He breathed life into the song and I'm very pleased with the finished track. I hope everyone enjoys this song."

Their Words
Not Pretty enough, Not good enough
You should hide behind 4 walls
They say, watch your weight
Put that on your face
Or nobody will like you
Why are we so cruel to ourselves?
And even worse to eachother?
Why are we so cruel to ourselves?
You need to stay strong
Gotta, stay strong
Forget these words, all that pain
Overcome the hurt, stay on your feet
Gotta, gotta stay strong(Stay Strong)
(Stay Strong)
Judging who we love, Judging where we're from
(Where we're from)
When was this ever okay?
Celebrating hate is now so normal
(So Normal)
When did this become so normal?
Why are we so cruel to ourselves?
And even worse to eachother?
Why are we so cruel to ourselves?
Why are we so cruel to ourselves? (Why?)
And even worse to eachother?
Why are we so cruel to ourselves?
(Stay Strong)
(Stay Strong)
You need to stay strong
Gotta, stay strong
Forget these words, all that pain
Overcome the hurt, stay on your feet
Gotta, gotta stay strong
(Stay Strong)
(Stay Strong)
