Dynasty — A Song That Spoke to My Soul.

I discovered Dynasty by MIIA in the most unexpected way—through TikTok. I wasn’t even looking for music; I was just casually scrolling through my feed when I stumbled upon a clip from a turkish movie titled "Hudutsuz Sevda". The scene was one of those heartbreaking moments where everything fell apart, and this hauntingly beautiful song was playing in the background. I didn’t know the name of the song at the time, but then it was filled with a lot of emotions that the song stuck with me.

After hearing it a few more times in similar scenes across TikTok, curiosity finally got the best of me. I searched for the lyrics, found the name, and headed straight to Spotify. That’s when I discovered it was a ballad by someone named MIIA. I had never heard of her before, and to be honest, I’ve never really been into songs like that. I mostly vibe those uplifting Afrobeat tracks—songs that make you dance or get hyped, not ones that make you emotional.

So, when my friends saw me listening to the Dynasty, their reactions were hilarious. Some asked if I had just gotten heartbroken. Others looked at me like I was going through something serious. I guess I can’t blame them. If you know me, you know that deep emotional songs have never really been my thing. But there was something about Dynasty that hit differently.

From the very first listen, I could tell this wasn’t just a regular song. It was a raw expression of pain, betrayal, and emotional vulnerability. You could literally feel the weight in her voice—the way MIIA sang with so much emotion made the lyrics even more powerful. One line that especially stood out to me was, “All I gave you is gone.” That hit deep. That one sentence captures what so many people feel after giving their all to someone who doesn’t appreciate or stay. It reminded me of the people out there who have loved with everything they had and still ended up empty.

As someone who has seen what it looks like when someone gets let down by the person they trusted the most, this song put a voice to that pain. Even though I haven’t experienced that kind of heartbreak myself, Dynasty made me feel like I understood it better. The song paints the picture of a bond that once felt like royalty—something unshakable, permanent, like a dynasty—only to watch it all fall apart.

What makes the song even more powerful is its simplicity. There are no heavy beats or distractions—just her voice and the emotions behind it. It’s the kind of song that forces you to listen, to reflect, and maybe even confront feelings you didn’t know were there.

Honestly, I’m glad I gave it a chance. It opened my ears to a different genre of music and showed me how beautiful emotional expression in music can be.
