Mutya Buena paid tribute to sister Maya on solo Sugababes song
On Sugababes’ third studio album, Three, released in 2003, Mutya recorded a solo song dedicated to her sister, titled Maya.
In the song, the British singer bared her emotions, singing: “Maya this song’s for you / I have your name print tattooed upon my skin / There’s so much to say to you / And where do I begin?”
Mutya’s tattoo of Maya’s name is on her hip.
In the chorus of the song, Mutya continued: “There are worlds within worlds, that keep rotating / And so many thoughts that flow through my mind / If this universe is really shrinking / We’ll be together in time.”
In March 2005, Mutya became a mum to daughter Tahlia, whose name is also tattooed on her shoulder. Her daughter’s middle name is Maya, after her late sister.
Mutya’s post-natal depression
After becoming a first-time mum while still in the Sugababes, Mutya revealed she was suffering from post-natal depression.
“I didn’t know I had postnatal depression, I would turn up to the studio and I would be acting so weird. Everything annoyed me, I could go from zero to 100 in seconds. I used to think what is going on? But it was my anxiety, I didn’t realise I suffered with it for so long, I didn’t even know what it was. I was getting nervous and angry, emotionally, I was all over the place,” she said on the Killing It podcast.
Meanwhile, on the When I Was 25 podcast, she added: “I just didn’t feel good. On top of that having baby blues with the girls, it didn’t make me feel good. I felt like I had this baby belly. I felt crazy fat.”
“I remember feeling really, really low. I didn’t’ feel sexy, I didn’t feel like my normal self.”
