In a stripped-down performance premiering right here on L'Officiel USA, pop star Wafia puts her lyrical prowess at the forefront.

Iraqi-Syrian pop songstress Wafia is back with an acoustic version of &ldquo;Hurts,&rdquo; her dynamic single in collaboration with Louis the Child and Whethan. In an all-new <a href="https://www.lofficielmaroc.ma/categories/video">video</a> made for Atlantic Records&rsquo; Stripped Sessions, Wafia lets the delicate side of the song shine, trading bass-heavy synths for airy drum and piano patterns.&nbsp;

Premiering exclusively on L&rsquo;Officiel USA, the new video&nbsp;is a simple but visually stunning performance of the personal track. Wafia stands in an airy&nbsp;room surrounded by leafy plants, wearing mesh gloves, blue earrings, and a matching blazer. The energy is warm, her vocals are inviting, and her lyricism is resonant.&nbsp;

&ldquo;Every word you write back/ If you really want me out the door/ Then just talk a little more/ &#39;Cause it feels a little cold,&rdquo; sings Wafia on the chorus. &ldquo;Hurts&rdquo; is a vulnerable plea for conversation, a desperate attempt to reconcile through communication.

&quot;Putting this together with the boys was amazing,&quot; the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/categories/music">musician</a> said of the new version of her collaboration.&nbsp;&quot;I don&rsquo;t usually strip my songs down this much so it was fun to reimagine the music this way. &ldquo;

Wafia is no stranger to collaborating with other artists&nbsp;and skyrocketed into the public eye after she was featured on Louis the Child&rsquo;s smash hit &ldquo;Better Now.&rdquo; &ldquo;Hurts,&rdquo; which is their newest collaboration, came out in September and has already racked up nearly two&nbsp;million streams on Spotify.&nbsp;If one thing is for sure, Wafia never stops creating, performing, and blowing us all away. She&rsquo;s working on a new EP&nbsp;and is about to kick off the KIN World Tour with Electric Guest on October 28 in Seattle.
