Crafted with finesse, the track captures themes of beauty in vulnerability and growth from heartbreak, making it one of Heldens' most poignant releases to date.

“When I got the first demo version of this song from the brilliant Julia Church, it hit me right away, and I became determined to turn it into a massive dance anthem. Big pianos, big trancy lead synths, a big bassline, and even bigger vocals from Julia with deeply meaningful lyrics. It’s been amazing working with Julia and the other super-talented writers, Ollie Green and Franklin, and I’m thrilled how this turned into a modern dance smash, while we still kept such a timeless feel to it,” Heldens says.
