I’ve been working on it for years, perfecting it, trying to make it ours,” she revealed. :I wanted to make music into a song where we share our deep need to both be understood and try to understand each other—a longing to be close when we feel so far away and an ability to celebrate life’s heroes,” she continued. “I’m so grateful to Tom and Hans and Joe for this opportunity—and it’s been a beautiful experience working with them.

Me, BloodPop, Ben Rice and everyone else who worked on it with us are so excited to share it with you.

This song is a love letter to the world during and after a very hard time. I’ve wanted you to hear it for so long. And I’m so excited to give it to you on May 3.” Check out some of the first lyrics from the song!
