"Daya" is the debut extended play (EP) by American singer Daya. It was released on September 4, 2015, through Artbeatz, Z Entertainment, and RED Distribution. The EP was made available to stream one day before its release on Billboard. A physical version of the EP was released exclusively to Target on October 30, 2015.
Matt Collar of AllMusic stated, "The debut EP from Grace Tandon aka 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 mic 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 dance floor."
