From Struggles to Celebrations: The Journey of REMA in 'Holiday'

REMA's song 'Holiday' is a vibrant celebration of his journey from hardship to success. The lyrics open with a reflection on the duality of roles he had to play, from being perceived as a 'bad guy' to an 'actor,' highlighting the lengths he went to support his family. This includes a candid confession about stealing a friend's laptop, a desperate act driven by necessity. The gratitude he expresses for surviving these tough times and achieving financial success is palpable, as he humorously notes that his wealth now requires a tractor to carry.

The song also touches on REMA's rise in the music industry, starting from his hometown of Benin and releasing his debut EP in 2019. Despite initial skepticism about his staying power, his music has transcended borders, reaching audiences from India to Berlin. This global recognition contrasts sharply with the disbelief and lack of support he initially faced, a source of pain that he hasn't forgotten. The repeated refrain of 'Everyday na holiday' serves as a triumphant declaration of his current success and a stark contrast to his past struggles.

REMA also reflects on the camaraderie and loyalty within his circle, emphasizing that despite their modest means, they support each other wholeheartedly. He advises against harboring hate and instead encourages prayers for the ability to catch up with his success. The song closes with a heartfelt plea for strength for his family and a nod to the sleepless nights and hard work that have brought him to this point. 'Holiday' is not just a song of celebration but also a testament to resilience, faith, and the transformative power of music.
