You can say it two ways:

can you explain to me what this phrase means "going straight to the heart of the matter"?
"The heart of the matter" is "the basic, central, or critical point of an issue."
So, when you go straight to the heart of the matter, you're not wasting time with unimportant points; you're talking directly about the thing that matters most.

keep strong or stay strong?
"Stay strong." We normally use adjectives after "stay":

Is "Lost on Which Way" as a title grammatically correct? Thank you!
It sounds unnatural. "Lost Along the Way" would sound much better, but the meaning is different.
"i believe on no one man", or "i believe in no one man"? that means I dont believe in any man else.
We use "in" with "believe":
- I believe in Santa Claus.
- I believe in the goodness of people.
- I believe in love.
- I believe in no other man.
- I believe in Santa Claus.
- I believe in the goodness of people.
- I believe in love.
- I believe in no other man.
Eventhough i grow up without u or eventhough i grew up without u?
Either "I grew" (if the action is finished) or "I am growing up" (if it's still happening).
do we use is or are for a group of band?
In American English, we treat band names as regular nouns, so it depends on the name of the band:
- The Strokes ARE on tour. ("Strokes" is plural.)
- Radiohead IS my sister's favorite band. ("Radiohead" is singular.)
- IS BIGBANG ever going to make a new album? ("BIGBANG" is singular.)
- Arctic Monkeys ARE from England. ("Monkeys" is plural.)
But in British English, band names can be either singular or plural. This is because collective nouns (including bands, football clubs, and other groups) can be used with singular or plural nouns.
- The Strokes ARE on tour. ("Strokes" is plural.)
- Radiohead IS my sister's favorite band. ("Radiohead" is singular.)
- IS BIGBANG ever going to make a new album? ("BIGBANG" is singular.)
- Arctic Monkeys ARE from England. ("Monkeys" is plural.)

what's the difference between "do you have" and "did you had" or "did you have" ?
"Did you had" is always wrong. After DO, DOES, DON'T, DOESN'T, DID, and DIDN'T, we use the base form of the verb.
"Do you have" is present tense: Do you have my phone? (Right now)
"Did you have" is past tense: Did you have enough money for lunch? (In the past)
"Do you have" is present tense: Do you have my phone? (Right now)
"Did you have" is past tense: Did you have enough money for lunch? (In the past)

Cam 'pervasive' and 'prevalent' be used interchangeably?
They have very similar meanings ("widespread," "in general use or acceptance"), but they aren't perfectly interchangeable.
"Prevalent" carries the additional meaning of being superior to something else. (Hence the connection to "prevail.")
"Pervasive" generally has a negative connotation and is often used to describe unwelcome things.
