2016 marked a milestone year for Yuna. Not only did the Malaysian singer-songwriter release her latest record, Chapters, but she also turned 30 in November. And as part of her birthday celebration, she penned a letter to her fans that looked back on the last decade and said goodbye to her 20s.

"The Malaysian students who are in their 20s," Yuna tells Myspace, "they're the ones on social media and I have a soft spot for them. I love them, I feel like nobody else is talking to them. The adults are busy with their agendas, politics, this and that, and these kids, their dreams and aspirations aren't being heard, and if they dream big, they're being criticized for it. It's something that I had gone through myself personally, and I just wanted to share my experience with them."

With all the traction it got on the web, she has one hope for those who read it: "I just want them to not stop believing in themselves."

Back to the music, Chapters allowed Yuna to explore her R&B and soul sides, which gave her the chance to work with Usher on the single, "Crush."

"It was a beautiful song and when Usher agreed to be on it, I was over the moon," she admits.

While it was great to work with Usher, the new record was her way of talking about growing up. "Growing a little bit wiser, and seeing love and life in a very different way," she says. "I grew so much in the last nine years, and learned a lot. So it's a nice way to talk about it in this album.

Since Yuna has had a pretty epic year, we also asked her to look back on 2016 and talk about her best and not-so-great moments. Read about them below.
