"The video for Zāna’s single, ‘Nah’ opens as it means to go on. A woman wearing high heeled shoes, emblazoned with a big cat on one, and the word ‘Nah’ in diamonds on the other, strides into a party – the heels sparking electricity as she goes. It’s the perfect representation of the sass, sultriness, and strength which come to mind when we think of Zāna."

PREMIERE: "This anthem is the perfect representation of what people think and feel when met with unwanted, creepy gestures; all they want to say is “Nah” over and over again like Zāna. You can see some of the girls having fun and dancing with the guys in the bar but in the end they walk out alone because not every female-male interaction prompts a one night stand. Girls just want to have fun—on their own terms."

"We really are the creators of our own soul. We create who we are, we make who we are every single day. Every decision we make and every mistake. How we react to things, how we grow from things, that is all us creating who we are as people and that is kind of a scary thought because it's like, 'Am I creating a good person?' It's all in your control." - Zāna
