When the day arrived, Maya’s set was placed right before the main act. She opened with her hit “Echoes of the Question,” the crowd chanting the refrain. As the stage lights dimmed for the final song, the DJ announced a special surprise: “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the man behind the question itself—Justin Bieber!”

“You're making me think that I'm the only one / And I don't wanna be the reason / You keep running away.”

The single sold in 2015 alone and contributed to Purpose becoming the best‑selling album of 2015 in the United States.

Maya never stopped listening to the song that started it all. She kept it on a playlist, but now it sat among her own creations. Whenever the opening synths floated through her headphones, she smiled, remembering the teenage girl in a desert town, half‑asleep on a hot night, who asked herself a question she didn’t even know she’d been asking.
