There's something about Raveena's silky smooth voice. Something that awakens a particular sense of tranquility and state of mind. It's a distinct type of warmth, one that can plant buds in the soul and somehow flourish into a blissful release. Through gentle smiles and an overall idyllic ambience, the Indian-American singer-songwriter informs us in her lucidly radiant track "If Only," that "fake apologies" are no longer acceptable and she is moving on to better things. By its very nature, the track represents the culmination of newfound self-love, following the draining cycles of torment and heartbreak that come with toxic relationships. 

"You still don't understand a woman is holy"

She sings to a past lover, and this powerful line alone strikes a direct chord among all women who have ever felt like they've been taken for granted or aren't appreciated enough. As Raveena charms us with a voice like liquid gold, she puts light to the beauty of leaving toxic energies behind and embracing the therapeutic benefit of spending time alone.
