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."[2]
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."[5] Billboard's Jason Lipshutz said "[Daya] displays the young artist's musicianship and knack for straightforward, emotionally revealing lyrics."[2]

"Hide Away" was released as the lead single from the EP on April 22, 2015.[6] Since its release, it has peaked at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100, and has been certified Platinum by the RIAA.[7]
