Olivia Terpin’s “Stay Like This” Will Break Your Heart in the Best Way

There are songs that hit you, and then there are songs that hold your hand while they do. Olivia Terpin’s latest release, “Stay Like This”, lands right in that second category—raw, tender, and completely unfiltered.

From the very first line, it’s clear this isn’t just a track—it’s a moment. The kind of moment where you’re standing at the edge of something you don’t want to lose, hoping time will pause, even just for a second. That’s what Olivia captures here: the fragile beauty of right before everything changes.

There’s no overproduction. No distractions. Just Olivia’s voice—clear, emotional, and absolutely impossible to ignore. You can hear the ache in her delivery. This is someone trying to hold on, not to a fantasy, but to something real. Something once full of laughter and late-night talks, now slipping away faster than she can stop it.

What makes “Stay Like This” hit even harder is that we’ve all been there. That gut punch of watching someone special slowly pull away, while part of you wants to scream, “Please, just stay. Let’s not mess this up”. Olivia doesn’t scream though. She pleads. Gently, honestly. And that makes the emotion land deeper.

The track sits somewhere between R&B and blues, but it doesn’t feel like it’s trying to fit a genre. It feels like it’s just being real. That’s Olivia’s strength—she sings what most of us struggle to say. You get the sense this song came straight from a journal entry. And yet somehow, it feels like it was written for you.

Coming off the heels of big wins like her top finish in the NATS Eastern Region and national placement, Olivia is clearly not just a great voice—she’s an artist with something to say. And she’s saying it in a way that’s beautifully human.

If you’re in a place where something’s ending, or you’re holding on a little tighter than you probably should, this song will find you. And it’ll sit with you for a while.

“Stay Like This” is streaming now, and honestly—it’s one of those songs you don’t just hear. You feel it.
