Y.A.L.A.

You Always Live Again.

M.I.A.'s response to Y.O.L.O., based on her Eastern cultural heritage. In Hinduism it is believed that people are continuously reincarnated, so it's acceptable to do something more than once.

Also a title of a song on her 2013 album Matangi.

"Why does everyone keep saying Y.O.L.O. and then doing the same stupid stuff? It's such a waste."

"Yeah, back where I come from we say Y.A.L.A. before we do stupid stuff cuz we know we're not wasting any time in this life. But then they invented karma to make us feel bad."
