If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that no matter how bad it gets, it will always get better in the end. I wanted to write a song that represents the light at the end of the tunnel, a healing anthem if you will.” This personal journey and reflection have infused the track with a sense of authenticity and resilience that resonates deeply with listeners.
