Released today, Guy Sebastian's latest single, 'No Reason To Stay', dives into the complexities of relationships and the difficult decision to walk away. This soulful track, set for a performance on The Voice this Sunday, resonates with raw honesty as Sebastian explores the all-too-familiar feeling of being stuck in a one-sided situation.
"It's simply about getting out of a situation because you literally can’t find one reason to stay," Sebastian explains. The song captures the emotional exhaustion that comes from constantly giving without receiving, whether it's in a romantic relationship, a family dynamic, or even a friendship.
Sebastian's inspiration for the song stemmed from a powerful adage: “‘No reason to stay is a reason to go.’ If you’re giving and giving and can’t find the ‘why’ for staying, whoever it’s with, then it’s time to go." He acknowledges the challenge of incorporating such a direct phrase into a song but embraces it with heartfelt conviction.
Recorded in Los Angeles, 'No Reason To Stay' features a blend of talented musicians and singers, creating a rich and dynamic soundscape. Sebastian aimed to reconnect with his soul and gospel roots, evident in the track's powerful vocals and emotive delivery. "I’m really proud of how this track ended up," he confesses.
With its relatable theme and soulful sound, 'No Reason To Stay' is poised to become another hit for the Australian singer-songwriter. The song's message of empowerment and self-worth encourages listeners to recognise their value and make the difficult choices necessary for personal growth. Tune in to The Voice this Sunday to catch Guy Sebastian's performance of this moving track.
