The lyrics delicately convey the message of moving on, with NERIAH singing, “Sometimes you gotta learn to leave even if it hurts/Gotta pack your bags, close the door first/Build a brand new world when something don’t work/And let the old one burn.” Through this, she is able to beautifully capture the pain of ending a relationship while confidently acknowledging that it is the best decision for herself.
On the track’s significance, NERIAH explains, “‘Even If It Hurts’ is the anthem for making the difficult decision to leave a relationship that’s no longer good for you. It is about walking away from someone that doesn’t treat you right and learning how to prioritize your own happiness and well-being. With its catchy melody and playful lyrics, this track is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever struggled to let go of someone they love.”
