background
Commenting on the songwriting of the song, Carey said, “It was a different experience compared to working on an album. I felt very close to the story of the movie, especially what my character is going through, which made it easier to write the song. I just tried to portray Krystals pain and hope. "
"The song is basically a three-act piece and describes the development of Krystal," said Carey.
“I hummed different tunes while I was filming. I thought Willie Nelson would be great to work with . I got in touch with him and met him after one of his concerts. "
The song is written from the perspective of up-and-coming singer Krystal, Carey's character from the feature film Tennessee . “The song has its own story arc. She [Krystal] first tells where she started, like lying in bed wondering where she got to. Many people go through something similar. It's kind of about finding strength. "
