Background

In an interview with Billboard's Jason Lipshutz, Daya said about the EP "Each song on this EP has a piece of my heart, and I really hope that my fans can find pieces of themselves in it, too."

Critical reception

Matt Collar of AllMusic stated "The debut EP from Grace Tandon a.k.a. Daya showcases the Pittsburgh native's bright, soulful vocals and electronic-tinged sound. Though only 16 years old at the time of the EP's release, Daya commands the mike with a highly resonant vocal style that fits nicely next to more established R&B artists like Beyoncé, as well as similarly inclined contemporaries like Lorde. Working with producer and songwriter Gino Barletta, Daya delivers a handful of empowering, passionate anthems that also work well on the dancefloor." Billboard's Jason Lipshutz said "[Daya] displays the young artist’s musicianship and knack for straightforward, emotionally revealing lyrics."

Singles

"Hide Away" was released as the lead single from the EP on April 22, 2015. Since its release, it has peaked at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100, and has been certified Platinum by the RIAA.

"Sit Still, Look Pretty" was released to Top 40 radio as the second single from the EP on March 29, 2016. It has since peaked at number 28 on the Hot 100, and has been certified Gold by the RIAA.
