I was going through a break up and having a bit or a rough time but I just woke up one morning and felt okay about it all one day. I wanted to write a positive break up song showing that it’s okay and things will eventually get better.

I co wrote the song with my friend who i write with a lot who is alo an amazing song writer (Carys Selvey) we worked on it together the same day with our friend Mack who produced it – it came together pretty quickly.
