Rina Sawayama official bio:
The devil works hard, but Rina Sawayama works harder. Fresh off the triumph of her UK and US headline tour, which sold out the Roundhouse in London and saw five-star reviews from The Guardian and NME, the newly minted British-Japanese pop star is following up her celebrated debut album Sawayama with Hold The Girl, a colossally ambitious and utterly original record that marries intimate storytelling with arena-sized tunes. In between Sawayama landing on over 50 album of the year lists, including the New York Times (#2), The Guardian (#3) and Rolling Stone (#6), a “superstar-in-the-making”(NME) TV performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and starring alongside Keanu Reeves in John Wick: Chapter 4, you’d be forgiven for wondering when she even sleeps.
But Rina - whose whole raison d’être is bending huge chart influences and blockbuster melodies to her will with precision-tuned songwriting and powerful vocals - is the rare pop artist for whom honesty is never not an option. Making Hold The Girl was a hardwon battle - one that didn’t come easy - and was written during a turbulent period in her life that saw her step back and focus on herself: “A lot of people ignore the symptoms of their emotional pain,” she explains. “It’s when I stopped that I was able to make something meaningful. I’ve worked hard, but I’ve also worked hard on my mental health.”
Writing and recording Hold The Girl coincided with Rina beginning intensive therapy to process a pain from her youth, and these tracks act as a journey through the revelations and growth she experienced. Rina was born in Japan but moved to London as a child and was raised by her single mother: a relationship she lovingly pays tribute to on the song Catch Me in the Air.
Existing in rarefied spaces as one of the few East Asian faces around - Rina studied politics, psychology and sociology at Cambridge and fronted fashion campaigns as a jobbing model prior to her music career - only served to gird her determination to make her music a broad church that embraces everyone.

I'm With You lyrics:
I'm standing on the bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening, but there's no sound
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand?
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are, but I
I'm with you
I'm looking for a place
I'm searching for a face
Is anybody here I know?
'Cause nothing's going right
And everything's a mess
And no one likes to be alone
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand?
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are, but I
I'm with you
I'm looking for a place
I'm searching for a face
Is anybody here I know?
'Cause nothing's going right
And everything's a mess
And no one likes to be alone
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand?
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are, but I
I'm with you
i love how her eyes can express so much and the way that she always sings with so much emotion even if this isn't even her song. she is a wonderful singer.
i saw this live, i was trying to sing along but I couldn’t stop crying 😭😭😭
Such a beautiful rendition
Beautiful! I hope she makes this a studio release!
Absolutely stunning.
I wouldn't be surprised if this song inspired Hold the Girl too :')
2:55 the way the fan screamed in a higher key and somehow harmonized with her lol.
2:18
omg love it so much
she did a cover of this song like a few years ago
The way I would’ve needed to be picked up off the ground and resurrected if I saw this live
