"‘what if i took it off for you?’ is my debut single, it tells the story of my experience shooting a global campaign for a multimillion dollar makeup corporation and being offered no recompense for it. Their justification was that "it's more of an opportunity for the people of your community”.’

Lyrics
oh i look in the mirror and i see nothing at all
oh i wish it was clearer why you don’t love me at all
oh i might leave the city with my fentys and no one with me
and i know you won’t miss me
you were with me and it was empty
what if i took it off for you?
would you love me the way they never do?
i thought i should take it off for you
what a fool
i’m such a fool
i’m such a fool
oh i don’t speak much oh i don’t speak at all
guess i should have spoken cuz you still left me after all
oh i might leave the city with my fentys and no one with me
and i know you won’t miss me
you were with me and it was empty
what if i took it off for you?
would you love me the way they never do?
i thought i should take it off for you
what a fool
i’m such a fool
i’m such a fool
what a fool
i’m such a fool
i’m such a fool
what a fool
i’m such a fool
i’m such a fool
what a fool
i’m such a fool
i’m such a fool
Support this woman for having the BRASS to stand up for what's right.
free palestine,don't give up
Such a beautiful song, and some girls can relate
Free our Palestinian brothers and sisters
Free our Palestine 🇵🇸
ong
Hits so close to home
Plz I always wanted to listen the full version since she made that tiktok and now I'm crying TT
Finally!!!! I’m telling you, she is paving the way for creative artists of different cultures, religions, backgrounds etc. changing the music game for better 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 may God bless her soul and journey 🙏🏽
I don't know how much i replay this. I can't get over. The song the voice are so gooddddd
You have got this, keep going ❤
LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about this
Love it..so short but meaningfull.
This is so gorgeous. I’m going to replay this over and over.
So so so so so good!!
LOVE THIS SO MUCH 😩❤️🔥🤧
Can't wait to hear more of your angels voice❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
She's such a Gem and underated. Becoming one of my favs
As a Christian this song hits me.😭
Her voice is angelic ✨✨
And the message of the song is amazing ♥️♥️
I love how all girls can relate to this. All religious girls within all religions, non religious girls feeling pressured to give up their virginity, societal standards of showing more skin. Just wow. She took her own situation and made a song that’s so many girls can relate to for different reasons.
Exactly! Any girl can relate to it in her own way and that’s the beauty of the song and Nemah herself♥️
Trueee.. I am catholic and this song hits really hard❤
@@KristinaLovesJustin ❤️✊🏽😔
song is still boring
@@batman-sr2px it’s simple yet beautiful.
the people who disliked this should take a covid-19 test because one of the major symptoms is having no taste
W o a h 🔥🔥🔥 Haven't heard this one before!
daaaaaaaamn
Iconic 😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💕💕💕
Niceeee
Oh shit this one is good
Why is this masterpiece so short? So underrated? Best song I've heard in 2021.
Couldn't agree more
Totally agreeeeeeeeee
Because she is fully clothed
I can’t believe I haven’t heard this song until now!! It’s so beautiful I didn’t even know the true meaning until seeing this music video. It’s so beautiful one of my favorites atm
Yes agreed!
I am not Muslim, I am not a Palestinian. But I stand with you, I pray for your safety, and the safety of others. I send word to my government that we need to help the Palestinians. I stand with you, and hear you. Please, to all in Gaza, and Palestinians, please stay safe as best you can. ❤
it’s a crime that this isn’t longer
Someone needs to hurry up and make a 1 hour loop 🥰✨
AMEN!
At first i thought she was talking about hijab but when i listened to the song i know its not only about that its about changing yourself for people who wouldn't love you either ways and that Made more sad :/
Anyone can relate
She addressed about the meaning behind the song in the description box
@@sitizulaikabintileman4145 yeah i also saw the video she was explaining it but that's how i personally feel about the song
For me this song perfectly describes how religious girls struggle to find relationships without having to change themselves to fit social standards
Hi hello there I'm one of those girls 🥲
We’re stronger than that!! Let’s not change for the approval of others or societal expectations and let’s change for ourselves, for the better! 💪🏻✨
Yes exactly
But aren’t relationships haram in the first place?
literally.
just listen. it's not just about a religion. letting go some part of you, just to be with someone. it's all about "Sacrifice" 😭
Yesss
Well said 👍
It does have a religious meaning behind it though. How western society pressures women who wear the religious head covering aka the hijab pressure them to go against their own beliefs by trying to get them to take it off instead of just accepting them for who they are. The creator said that for her personally she wrote this song out of inspiration for the struggles she’s had to face when it came to her hijab🧕🏽🤍
She very obviously means taking off her hijab, but it isn’t about the hijab but rather getting rid of a part of u to please someone else. So you can definitely relate to it in a different way but don’t say it’s not about it and completely neglect the meaning of the song especially since she’s trying to express the discrimination she faces for wearing the hijab.
Never. God is forever for eternity.
Human beings just for a short time on earth
stumbling across talent like this doesn't happen too often 💜
What a lucky day for me to see you commenting on this beautiful song! I always love listening to your radio!
Yes its a lovely songgg and I love your channel
💔💔💔💕
FR ❤️🔥
it really is a beautiful accident 💜
Her voice!!!!!!😍
IKR🥺🥺
She sounds ✨amazing✨
Magical🥺
YES!
FR ITS SO BEAUTIFUL MASHALLAH
This hits hard not only to all those courageous Muslim girls an women but to all women ready to change lifestyle and point of view expecting love in return. I’m Christian and hits hard in my mind. You should be loved for who you are and not what you are. Love yourself fellas. Thank you Nemahsis 🙏🏾
Aw ❤️ thank you
Thank you
"Taking it off" means both the physical veil and also the emotional veil. So beautiful beyond words Alhamdulillah
Hello, Do you remember me? friend.
@@ahmadkhan-bx7me creepy as heck
@@aman_01ahmad33 I'm not creepy 😭😭😭😥😥
@@ahmadkhan-bx7me but ur acting creepy
I am Christian and I feel you... I don't want to give my virginity before marriage and it is difficult for me to find someone who can respect that.
good girl, keep fighting sister.
God is working on your story. His timing is unique. Keep faith sister and don’t give up 💙
@@jelilahkum6526 thank you so much ✝️
The right one will respect that! < ❤
That's how you find the one that's for you.
ugh, i’m sorry to every girl in the world who tried to change herself in anyway to fit in. 🥺 i was that girl, i hope we don’t make future generations feel this way.
I'm not Muslim but this hit home for me. I'm crying!
Agree anyone can relate to this song… Just be you✊🙌
Basically any girl can relate to the song in her own way because it’s technically about “fitting the mold” or having to live up to societal standards. What an important and needed message Nemah is portraying♥️
@@edwardtomkinson3725 yes, I know. Just some people want to say no it’s specifically for this reasoning
@@missylang998 it does have a specific meaning let it resonate however it may need to but DONT take away the reason why she wrote it period
@@missylang998 it’s for her people just like songs have been over analyzed about the black community by white women! Not everything is for everybody but you can enjoy it
Somebody give her New Artist of the Year at the next AMAs.
Omggg yes and it’ll be the first Hijabi to win AMAs🥰 lets make this real!!
She doesn't need their validation , she's already a Queen.
yess
it would be an honor to even be invited
Aaaaah up up uuuup~
Your voice!!! Its beyond words ♥️
We love youuu!! Our Iraqi queen❤️🔥
The voice. Dios Mio ♥️♥️🥺
Can't believe Dixie's songs get more likes than this master piece
Idk who that is but I bet I agree
This is gonna sound harsh but Dixie's music is literally an insult to people who have actual talent 💯
@@Nicole-og6df nth but facts
dont hate she was really really really really sad
@@Nemahsis lmao I see what you did there
My best friend is a Muslim. I'm glad we respect each others religion. Never change for anyone, be at peace with who are.
Queen energy 🙌🏻💕
@@co-xv3lo ikr 💜💜
guys i'm not a muslim but THIS song is truly beautiful .
Yeah , you don't have to be following a certain religion to like a song
You don't need to be something to like something😆
@@l.b4723 I know dude but I said that to show that it doesn’t relate to me in a religious way but it does in a lyrical way
@@Sky.0325 I know dude but I said that to show that it doesn’t relate to me in a religious way but it does in a lyrical way
@@shulammitkidane8229 ok👍
I’m not muslim but this song really reminds me of my first relationship. He was a lot older than me and also very manipulative and abusive. He persuaded me to do a lot of things that I still regret to this day. Thank you for this song 💕
ur very strong i hope ur doing better now
im so sorry darling
you don’t have to be muslim to like the song. please take away that first part
this is beyond beautiful and meaningful. it makes me happy that a Palestinian hijabi is giving muslim representation especially with an angelic voice like nemahs💓💓💓
Man I’m not really that religious but this made me cry… the emotion in her voice and in her face and her movement is so intense I feel like I know her pain, even though I really don’t KNOW her pain… her talent is so beautiful. One day she will find someone who loves EVERY part or her.
tell me you're an empath without telling me you're an empath 🤍🤍love you
And that's how you know she's a good artist.
Indigenous peoples of the Americas know the madness of settler colonialism/ethnic cleansing/forced assimilation all too well. #FreePalestine #LandBack #MMIWG
To my muslim sisters, don’t ever compromise your faith for a mans attention or love. If he loves you, he would want you modest. Seeing other “pretty” girls getting attention can sometimes get discouraging but just think of gods reward for your patience & firmness in his religion. Alhamdulilah for islam. May Allah ease your hearts and minds ♥️ ps, beautiful song!
Amen beautiful ...thank you ...wise words ..❤😍❤😍
I agree but that’s not even what the song is about. Read the description.
@@c0smicchelsea hello there...it is actually related to being a Muslim and a hijabi woman cuz she got rejected or basically the company she wanted to shoot for or work for didnt approve of her cuz of her hijab ...
@@waadaatif no I know it’s about that I was just saying it’s not about love like the person commenting was describing ur completely correct
@@c0smicchelsea oh yessss but also this song can be interpreted in many ways actually which makes it diverse and beautiful still .😍 because she also wrote on Instagram that this song is for anyone that feels like they don't fit in or they're not accepted in a big scale or even accepted by a partner or a lover.
No pls it’s too short😭😭😭😭 you have no idea how much I’ve waited for this ughhh
As someone called a prude for just being slightly conservative, this is something I needed. This needs to be heard by all girls everywhere! Sending love to my Muslim sisters as well
♡♡♡
Sending love right back!❤️ so glad feminism is beginning to question male-gaze centred norms of sexuality again haha
I'm not hating when I'm scared of your fellow conservatives because they wish harm on all my LGBT+ friends not saying they all do but the part that does makes me scared my friends will be in the obituaries or in the hospital in a coma
This is so meaningful! I loved that she kept talking about how she feels unworthy of love from her romantic partner, then suddenly turned her back as if she finally found the solution saying ''What if I took it off for you? would you love me the way they never do?'' thinking that maybe that scarf on my head is the obstacle, so why not taking it off? this clearly draws how the abandonment of hijabi girls (Mostly in western communities) is harsh and how Netflix and other platforms use this concept by viewing a girl with the same thoughts and weakness but as soon as she takes off her hijab she regains her power and finds the love and respect she wanted! (which indirectly affects the actions of hijabi viewers and lower their Imaan)
Then the song ends by a conclusion saying ''I thought I should. What a fool'' to respond to these thoughts and actions. I'm really impressed with how every word is representing and referring to an issue some Muslim girls really face.
Never encountered a musical production that plays on such topics.
Sending my warmest heart wishes to her angelic voice and every person worked on this masterpiece.♥
its not that deep
@@batman-sr2px or maybe your thinking isn't
@@batman-sr2px not that deep for you because you're shallow
Very nice 👌
@@el-dawn you need to listen to more music then
It means a lot when you live in a judgemental society.
Yeppp 💯
@@arthurleywin4292 Omg Anas 😂 hi
@@akiraarina hellooo ^^
this is what we need more of. artists singing about their truths, sharing their experiences with the world so we may find our way together.
This came out exactly at the right time with the EU'S court banning every physical appearance related to religions specifically headscarfs, and for every woman out there feeling unloved and pressurized in love life or in your career you are EVERYTHING THEY CAN'T BE, i know the struggle but you will be loved by only the right ppl 🌺🌺
No men is worth taking of the hijab off for! I choose Allah over everything. Men are temporary. God is eternal.
EVERY physical appearance? Wtf, this is ridiculous. Where's the religion freedom and women's rights the EU preach so much about?
Oh the free europe ?
No religion practices freedom.. why do muslim women wear the headscarf or a burka? Will someone explain that to me?
The only bad thing about the song is that it ended.
hijabi muslim girl representation with the most celestial voice in the world, how can i ask for more
her voice is so magical, and while I’m not muslim and cant relate to that aspect, I am a woman and if I interpreted this as just clothes being taken off i can totally relate💕💕💕
I'm hear this song from tiktok,this song Soo taching me. Hope you Will be famous on round the world .cuz your voice and song very perfect for me. And i'm from Indonesia.
My fight is not my religion, it's my mind - as a survivor of sexual assault, I've always had a problem with actually giving myself up to other people and more than a few people left me because I wasn't willing to sleep with them yet given a relationship
I'm so sorry I hope Allah grant you jannah for what you've been through you deserve happiness 🙌🏻💗
This song hits differently soooo damn deep cant stop listening to this song even cant control my tears 😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤❤
Same here! 😭😭💛
Iconic!!!!
FREE PALESTINE!!!!🥹🤗⚘️🇯🇴
free palestine!!
i've been waiting this for a week, and YES it was so worth it, this song is so beautiful mashallah.
As a new hijabi this gives the strength to stick to it no matter what, thanks alot for the song i can’t get over it ❤️❤️❤️
God bless you! Wonderful! I love how she is making the Christian’s like myself and the Muslim community and bringing us together like this. Respect.
Free Palestine ❤️🇵🇸
As a veiled Christian this song hits different !! ( stop arguing in the comments . christians respect muslims and muslims respect christians)
Those still exist? That's cool :)
May God guide you
This song will hit any believers ❤❤
Peace to my christians brothers and sisters
@@Mimi-nh6sr same goes to you
@@archieese9176 Thank you, to you too :)
AND you Stan joon? Go queen! ❤️
I’m crying. I’ve always thought of making songs about messages like this to bring light to Muslims since there’s only male artists and I saw this today and I’m just blown away. Her voice is so beautiful. I just want to deliver a different message and she did it and wow, I’m in tears, she did that!
She did great. I’m obsessed x
yea im muslim too 😭 its always so hard for us muslim .... im hijabis too but sometimes i also makes a stupid decision and i regret it
Yes as a hijabi I always wanted to be in a band it group with other hijabis and just sing and make music! Like she really inspired me with such a pretty song 🥺❤️
@@duckiemomo7511 Yes! Glad to know I'm not the only one but I don't know any hijabis around me that like to sing and write, it's a shame
@@aminakhan2684 yes it really is! I think it’s hard expressing yourself especially publicly! Some of my favorite Muslim TH-camrs/Instagram people just stop posting because of all the hate. I’m just happy she kept going 😭
Never in my life did I ever think I’d see hijabi representation in music. Let alone with a level of vocal ability that could go head to head with vocal legends. We are truly blessed. Thank you 💕💕
hi you should also listen to Yuna! Both of them are amazing.
Not just that, but the important and much-needed message the song and Nemah portray♥️
Me 2
In the middle east there are plenty of hijabis in the industry
There are actually plenty of hijabis in the music industry just not in the west i guess
This song is so beautiful 😭💔, It’s not only about hijab. It’s about giving every single piece of yourself to someone and be vulnerable. Then they break and leave you. you will be traumatized to open up for anyone else again. 😓
Yes, it's for everyone’s ❤️🩹
2023....Her label just dropped her for being pro-palistine 😮
Omg who is she , and why she only has one song 😭😭😭❤️
NO LITERALLY
@@lailaa536 yuhh
I just unexpectedly experienced an emotional ride listening to this song. Beautiful ❤️❤️
Im here from tiktok 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
A Palestinian queen!
This empowers me as someone who is pagan and Romani - I wear veil for my paganism and headscarves aka Dikhlo becuz I’m Romani. Ty u will empower ppl worldwide, also love to our Muslim sisters & brothers out there too !!~
Love you too and all other sisters and brothers
♡♡♡
GO AWF MUSLIMAH QUEEN
The fact that this didn't blow up infuriates me!!🤬
sis drop the name of the brand, we're boycotting everyone
I don’t know where to start your voice is so angelic n beautiful, the visuals, the aesthetic and you are so beautiful and I love how the lyrics have such a beautiful meaning to it. ❤️❤️ This song is going to be on repeat all day everyday ❤️
the aesthetics, visuals, you and your voice. it’s everything and more
As someone who lives in a majority muslim country and have a practicing-muslim circle, I cannot relate to this struggle. But I have so much respect for y'all girls who are tested in this aspect and still manage to hold onto Islam despite the pressures.
"what if I took it off for you?". It's never worth it to sacrifice Allah for humans. You can replace people. But if you lose Allah, there's no substitute for Him. You lose everything.
Stay strong my ladies. In heaven, you can wear literally anything you want and be more beautiful than you're right now. Hold on a lil longer ❤️
Edit: Also, this song is so good 💕 I hope it's a bit longer but the short one makes it on repeat so I understand the strategy haha
To all my muslim queen ❤ may Allah protect you and guide wherever you are please know you are so valuable ❤
Free Palestine ❤️🇵🇸
I’m Christian and I understood this to the highest degree!
🙌❤️
This song hurts especially when you realize how much you've changed at the hands of pressure and so much more.
this is absolutely beautiful like the way this speaks to me!! the emotion you conveyed is astounding you are this up and I’m so excited to see what the future has in store
TH-cam recommended this to me and I'm so so happy. This girl deserved more recognition because this is so good. Her voice is heavenly, the video is gorgeous and the lyrics beautiful. Can't wait to see more of her!
Ps. I hope we get a future collab with Yuna or Snoh. All three have very distinct styles but they have that something something that reminds me of eachome of them :)
I’ve never thought of taking my hijab off for a guy, but I’ve wanted to take it off just in general for so many years now. I absolutely despise how it makes me look and how it affects my work & school life. I feel like this song describes how I would feel without my hijab tho :)
I FELT THIS SM :(((
i feel u
Fighting!! Fight those feelings. Thats also Jihad u know, Jihad against Nafs, against world pleasure. Remember, Allah will grant Jannah for those who fight well and do Jihad just to be a better version of Muslim. In shaa Allah.
Yess this is how I feel🥺
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
I'm crying.. Like a baby.. 😢 I'm so glad I found you.. Besides the most literal representation of faith.. Too many times we strip away parts of ourselves to bare ourselves to the men we love.. To often we break walls to let them in only to be destroyed from the inside out.. This hit too close to home for me..
Can’t wrap my head around the fact that this song doesn’t have more attention on it?? I’m glad there’s finally a song describing the struggles Muslim girls have to face - feeling like they need to change themselves to get a man’s love and attention. May Allah bless us all and pair us with someone who will love us the way we are and not any differently. Don’t settle for any less - whether you’re Muslim or not ♥️ your struggles are heard 🤍
Haha "wrap my head"
@@k.suliman8539 Was just about to comment the same thing lollll.
the fact that this song even made it to you is more than enough views for me. love you ❤️
Not all girls remove it for attention tf
@@Nemahsis we love and support you out here 💜💜💜💜💜🔥🙏🏽
I'm an asexual Christian and this gets me everytime. Any time I want to be in a relationship I feel pressured to have sex or be sexualised when I want to not have anything to do with it at all, but if I don't then people don't want to date me. It's really tough, but I hope that everyone who reads this is inspired to keep going! You'll find someone who respects and loves you one day :)
I can understand you. But someone who really loves you, will marry you. And not force you to have sex before marriage.
Real love is about respect. Sex is only lust. Those people dont deserve you.
@@AG-wb3db Thank you so much🥰
Who are you getting into relationships with? No Christian man truly in faith would ever pressure you to have sex, not to mention sex outside marriage is not even debatable...You simply don't need to go around and date. And if you do, do it with the right people that would value and respect you.
Musilim gurls with hijab... chirstian girls with virginty we all gurls had that story ... in the end never let them change you because bestie this isn't a true love and it's okay we all deserve better one day you will find that someone or may be not and that's okay what isn't okay that you waste your years trying to find that someone... i wish to you all a beautiful years ❤
To me this song isn’t necessarily about some guy! This song is about society, it’s about how the general public, people in power, perceive modest women. Women who feel empowered by being modest are seen as people who should be feared as if they were really some monster. Our world is sadly run by sick deluded people who enforce their idea of what beauty, sexy, appealing, acceptable is. They enforce this upon us and if we don’t accept it we’re considered oppressed by our father, brother, or husband etc! Men have ruled the fashion industry from day one! They hate that we will not abide to their stupid ideologies and that we much rather please our creator, than some random person! We were born free, only to be enslaved by a people who believe they own us? No. Absolutely not, you dress how you please. Screw society norms!
I'm here because of tiktok. Beautiful song❤
my only complaint is that this isn't LONGER
mark my words: this is gonna get the appreciation it deserves, it’s such a good and meaningful song
Yes yes claiming it
I took it off to fit in and be loved. Nothing changed. Im a fool. My advice: Dont take it off, just change the style of it.
why aren't you the most famous person on this earth rn? not fair
This is criminally underrated and I feel like exploding and yelling to the world about how great the song is thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️
*So glad TH-cam recommended me this it’s fire*
Im cryingg the seriousness and hurt she displays on her face is magnificent
I cried❤️😘
Anyone can relate to this song…. Don’t ever stop being you🌹❤️🙏
✨❤️❤️
I’VE BEEN DYING FOR YOU TO RELEASE MUSIC
Don’t EVER change yourself for other people’s approval/love. When you’re not living authentic to yourself, you will always feel unhappy regardless of having so many people love you. Whatever is making you insecure, own it and flaunt it until you feel insecure no longer. Challenge yourself to do this before deciding to change yourself to fit in.
I don’t know why but my favorite line is “oh might leave the city, with my fentys, no one with me” the words just sound really good together, I love how you say “fentys”
I'm sorry but what is fentys? I googled it just show fenty beauty brand :(
