UAE’s Dina Stars Releases “Lift Me Up” – An Anthem Of Hope Produced By The Team Behind Ariana Grande And Jennifer Lopez

Dubai-based singer-songwriter Dina Stars releases her new single “Lift Me Up”, an uplifting pop track about navigating fear, self-doubt and uncertainty — produced in collaboration with Miklos Malek, the internationally acclaimed producer behind releases with Ariana Grande, Jennifer Lopez and Anastacia, as part of the Berklee Abu Dhabi PEARL Program.

The song arrives in a time it is much needed in. Across the region, people are quietly carrying things that are difficult to name — anxiety, grief, and an unrelenting exhaustion of living through uncertainty. For those people, ‘Lift Me Up’ is a reminder that what they are feeling is not theirs alone to carry.

The track combines uplifting pop production, intimate songwriting and strong female vocals. As part of the Berklee Abu Dhabi PEARL Program, the collaboration with Malek — a former X Factor judge and producer behind multiple international pop and electronic releases — marks a significant creative milestone for the Dubai-based artist.

“I wanted this song to feel like a reminder that even when life feels heavy, you are not alone. It’s for anyone who is overwhelmed, overthinking, or trying to find strength in a difficult moment. Sometimes all you need is something that lifts you up and helps you keep going.”  — Dina Stars

Known for her emotional storytelling and commanding stage presence, Dina Stars has performed more than 500 live shows across the UAE and internationally, including headline appearances at Expo 2020 Dubai, Al Wasl Plaza and Formula 1 events.

Her previous releases have generated significant traction on short-form platforms, with her song “Nobody But You” entering the TikTok Viral 50 chart and fan-created content reaching wide organic scale. In 2024, she was named Female Pop Artist of the Year at the Musivv Awards for her song “Pink Moon.”

“Lift Me Up” is the opening chapter of a wider artistic evolution. Further singles are already in development, with upcoming releases set to gradually introduce Arabic-language and Arabic musical elements alongside her signature English-language pop sound — a natural progression for an artist who is from this part of the world and always been deeply rooted in it.

“Lift Me Up” is out April 9, 2026 on all major streaming platforms.
