This song was a late-comer in the album process. My producer, Kenny Schick, was already working on the 20 songs I had sent him, from which I planned to choose the 12 for this album, when he had a dream about me that corresponded in the spookiest way with an actual moment two time zones away, very likely at the same moment he was dreaming it.

Like many who make themselves vulnerable by putting themselves out there, I struggle at times with damaging, unfair, and debilitating insecurity. Weirdly, I understand these moments as confirmation of my path because I believe the right path is often not the easy one.

I do know that we’re not meant to stick what is given to us in a hole in the ground. This is consistent with my firm understanding that my music is not mine. This understanding is often the only reason I keep going. It’s not just motivation: it’s also a belief that I would be dishonoring a beautiful gift if I gave up. My heart just sometimes can’t quite take what I ask it to do: turn myself inside out and share, when as a massive introvert I’d rather hide.

This song is a joyous shout of affirmation that I’m on the right track, despite myself. My producer, Kenny Schick, put a straight-up power rock vibe on this song that makes me so, so happy.

In addition to songwriting, lead vocals, and writing the harmony vocals, I performed backing vocals on this song. Kenny Schick, my producer, also sang backing vocals and played or programmed all of the instruments. Kenny recorded his parts at Basement3Productions in Nashville, Tennessee, and I recorded my parts in May 2022 with Steven Glaze at ToneFreq Studio in San Jose, California.
