Up-and-coming artist Gia Koka returns to the release radar with 'cry baby', a new collaborative single released alongside multi-Platinum award-winning talent gnash. Out now on Universal Music, their latest track is available to listen to across all streaming platforms.
'cry baby' is a song about failure and the fear of looking back into one’s own past that flawlessly balances between dance and pop. Rife with positivity and hopefulness, the powerfully pensive tune optimistically speaks to each and every one of us who is ready to start a new chapter in this life.

“I wanted to write the perfect break up anthem that would empower people and make them want to dance. It’s sassy, funny, sexy, and there’s something for everyone. I was more than thrilled that gnash wanted to jump on it; his authenticity brought the single to another level. Enjoy!” - Gia Koka

"It’s important that we have a good cry from time to time, but it’s also important that we don’t complain to no avail. Sometimes we get so wrapped up and consumed with missing someone that it eats up our whole life, so this is an empowering song to blast through that time with confidence and get to the light on the other side even sooner!” - gnash
