"Stayaway" is a song by American band Muna from their second studio album, Saves the World (2019). The song was written by band members Katie Gavin, Josette Maskin, and Naomi McPherson, who produced it with John Hill. It was released by RCA Records as the albums third single, on August 16, 2019.

"Stayaway" is a synth-pop and electropop song with 1980s influences. Inspired by some of Gavin's own failed relationships, the song is about struggling to maintain one's distance from an ex-romantic partner following a breakup; the band described "Stayaway" as a song about eliminating negative routines and understanding the adjustments required to instill long-lasting improvements. Upon release, music critics praised the song's production and detailed, emotional lyrics; many reviewers called "Stayaway" some of Muna's strongest material to that point.

A music video for "Stayaway" was released on August 16, 2019, the same day as the single. Muna has performed "Stayaway" live several times, including throughout their headlining tours, Coachella, and their NPR Tiny Desk Concert in 2024. Singer Kelly Clarkson covered the song on her talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, in 2023.

Background

[edit]

American band Muna took some time off from music after touring with Harry Styles as an opening act on the singer's Harry Styles: Live on Tour throughout 2017–2018.[1] They began writing new material for what would become their second studio album, Saves the World, after completing "a long period of hibernation".[2] "Stayaway" was written by band members Katie Gavin, Josette Maskin, and Naomi McPherson.[3][4] Gavin, their lead singer, said "Stayaway" was one of the songs she wrote after having spent time adjusting to some significant life changes.[2] Because Gavin had not been in a recent relationship at the time, she opted to write about an old unhealthy relationship, explaining, "Sometimes you can't write about the pain when you're inside it ...You have to be far enough out".[5] The singer drew inspiration from experiences in which she had found herself reflecting on failed past relationships through "rose-tinted glasses".[6] Gavin considers "Stayaway" to be the most vocally demanding song on the album, and had to re-learn how to sing it to accommodate changes in her singing voice.[7]

According to guitarist Maskin, "Stayaway" was one of two songs that established the tone for the rest of the album sonically, "in terms of, every song on this record we wanted to try to go all the way".[8] According to the band, the song is "about trying to rid yourself of a negative pattern and realising that it requires you to make a whole network of other changes", likening the experience to removing a small weed only to reveal a larger, more resilient root system that thrives on harmful behaviors and circumstances.[9] Staying away from said circumstances required the band members to rebuild themselves entirely.[10] In a statement, Muna stated "For us, today, this song is a reminder of how hard it once was".[10] Gavin said she was very proud of the song, and hoped its message would help fans move on from their own unhealthy relationships.[6]

On August 12, 2019, the band confirmed the song's release date on their social media accounts.[11] RCA Records released "Stayaway" as the third single from the band's then-upcoming second studio album, Saves The World, on August 16, 2019.[12] Keyboardist McPherson identified "Stayaway" as the band's best song for getting over a breakup, as of 2022,[13] which they[14] also called their favorite song to perform live in 2021.[15]

Music and lyrics

[edit]

"Stayaway" is a synth-pop,[16][17] electropop,[18] and alt-pop power ballad,[19][20] with 1980s influences.[21][22][23] The "high-energy" track lasts three minutes and twenty-six seconds (3:26) in duration,[24][25] and is performed in the key of A major at 92 beats per minute.[26] Critics have cited influences of R&B,[9] dark pop,[22] and emo-pop in its production,[27] which Alexandra Pollard of The Independent likened to the work of music duo Daft Punk.[28] Hasan Beyaz of EUPHORIA. Magazine described the song as "mixing sharp, jagged synths with crashing snares, exhilarating guitar wails and Gavin’s cathartic cries of anguish" that are synonymous with the group's music.[27] Called a "heartbreak anthem" by Chloe Peterson of The Daily of the University of Washington,[29] Billboard's Hannah Daily described it as an electro-pop rock song about the struggles of maintaining distance from a former romantic partner amidst constant reminders of them: "If I see my old friends, we’ll go out dancing/ If we go out dancing, then we’ll go to the bar ... If we go to the bar, then there’s gonna be drinking/ If I drink, I wanna see where you are”.[30] Meanwhile, a writer for Austin City Limits called "Stayaway" a "soaring" pop anthem that "belongs in the twenty-first century", despite the band's retro influences.[31]

Lyrically, "Stayaway" is about the unexpected challenges one encounters when trying to keep their distance from an ex,[32] recounting overlooked details about what occur after the initial breakup.[6][33] According to Loud and Quiet's Megan Wallace, the song eschews the "bravado" of most breakup anthems in favor of discussing "the troubled waters of new single-dom", and how initial breakups pale in comparison to the difficulties of their aftermaths.[34] The singer grapples with the temptation to return to a past love and the struggle to move on.[23] Beginning with a series of hypotheses that increase in speed to mimic "the pace at which anxiety supersedes logic",[35] Gavin details locking herself in her bedroom to avoid temptations that could potentially reunite her with her ex, singing, "every moment is a fork in the road and every road leads back to you".[36] She avoids listening to music out of fear that she might hear her ex's favorite song.[37] She also refuses to drive, drink,[38] socialize with friends or go dancing, admitting, "I don’t do most things I used to do / Actually now that I’m thinking about it / I did most things to get to you".[39] It includes the lyrics "Start believing you were right and/I was being too dramatic/So I gotta leave the light on ... For tonight/Just so I can stay away”.[40]

"Warped, twisted" effects are applied to her vocals, according to Robin Murray of Clash, as she sings "Leaving you was easy, now I gotta do what's hard / I gotta stay away…",[33] over a "pulsating" dance beat.[41] Eventually, Gavin's vocals ascend to a higher octave to plea "If I don’t stop it, before I know it, all the bad things never happened. You never lied or treated me bad and if you did, then you’ll wish you hadn’t".[42] As per Ella Govrik of the Loyola Phoenix, the track reminds listeners "to avoid emotionally draining relationships".[43] Apple Music said it is about "getting back into the game after ending a relationship".[44]

Reception

[edit]

Nylon highlighted "Stayaway" as one of the "15 Best Music Releases" during the week of the single's release, crowning Muna the "Queens of moving on and exuding positivity".[45] In 2019, Corinne Osnos of Vulture said "Stayaway" was their favorite Muna track to-date, and recognized it among the best new releases from that week.[35] The Fader's Salvatore Maicki considered "Stayaway" to be among the "boldest-sounding material" the band had produced to that point, describing the song as "colossally cautionary".[2] Sophia Mattia of The Triangle and a writer for the Salt Lake City Weekly named "Stayaway" a standout track from its parent album,[46][47] while Chloe Peterson of The Daily of the University of Washington deemed it a fan favorite.[29]

Chris Zakorchemny of The Big Takeover called its bridge in particular "breathtaking".[42] Writing for WKCO, Mikayla Connolly described it as a relatable, "high-energy pop track that could easily pull crowds to the dance-floor", despite its heartbreaking and solemn lyrics.[39] The writer also identified "Stayaway" as "the first song of MUNA’s I’d heard that convinced me instantly of the band’s unique talent".[39] For Loud and Quiet, Megan Wallace cited "Stayaway" as an example of the band exploring "a more nuanced examination of feeling than we’ve previously seen from them".[34] Dave Fawbert of i called the track "magnificent" and compared its detailed, emotional lyrics to the work of singer-songwriter Taylor Swift.[6]

Music video

[edit]

The music video for "Stayaway" was released August 16, 2019, the same day as the single.[12][48] The video was directed by Minnie Schedeen,[23] and Lidia Nikonova was cinematographer.[49] In the video, Gavin stares at her reflection in a steamed-up mirror after a shower.[50][41] The promotional campaign for Saves the World featured multiple references to self-reflection and mirrors.[50] The band encounters a former lover of Gavin at a bard they are performing at, but reverse and return home.[41]
