“Dear Ana” a Collaboration Between Matthew Koma & Jai Wolf Defines Strength

Can you think of a better collaboration between Jai Wolf and Matthew Koma? “Dear Ana“ was released to day, and this dreamy, emotion filled single has us firmly in its grip.

Koma’s soft vocals tug at your hear strings with his emotional outcry, and Jai Wolf’s talent with synths take you on a dreamy adventure.

The greatest creative works are usually pulled from personal experience. Koma wrote this song as he was overcoming his battle with an eating disorder. “Dear Ana, I can’t live without you, but it’s killing me to keep you alive” you can feel the struggle run deep throughout the lyrics.

Koma was quoted saying this about his new single:

‘Dear Ana’ is a song about my battle with an eating disorder that nearly killed me. I always had some issues around body image and body dysmorphia but didn’t have the strength to face it or talk about it openly. I became so mentally and physically exhausted and it didn’t get any better in the context of shooting photos and music videos, doing promo etc. I finally hit a rock bottom when it was a matter of survival, but admitting it was only the first step of a very long and hard journey. I wrote this song during my first week of recovery. It takes conscious decisions every day to continue overcoming the thoughts, patterns and fears…but with the right support and headspace, I’m grateful to be heading in the right direction.

The brave undertone of the song keeps our spirits high, and will hopefully bring strength to those facing some of the same battles.
