Sienna

Inspired by the breakup of The Marias founders María Zardoya and Josh Conway, "Sienna" imagines the life of a child they never had.

The song traces a bittersweet alternate reality, a life where love endured, where the couple built a life together, and perhaps had a daughter named Sienna with qualities drawn from both parents: free-spirited, sensitive, and imaginative. "Sienna would have acted like you, she would have jumped in the pool just like you, and she would have sang to all her pets like I do... but because we broke up, Sienna will never exist," Zardoya lamented to Variety. "And so at the very end where I sing, 'See her face in the forest, then it disappears,' it's like seeing the future you wanted just completely vanish."

Why Sienna? On the Zach Sang Show, María said the choice was purely her own: "I was like, but if I did have a child with this person, I would name her Sienna." It wasn't a jointly agreed-upon name, just a quiet, private thought that became the seed for the song.
