[dropcap]S[/dropcap]peaking on the song, Hanne notes: – I wrote this song on my own in my little home studio set-up, and I was convinced that I would never show it to anyone as it just felt too close.
…dare to be vulnerable and open.
– However, after some rethinking, I decided that I wanted to release it as there’s a lot of people who are dealing with mental health issues these days, and I think it’s important that we talk about it and dare to be vulnerable and open. This is my story, and if it can help anyone feel a little less alone, I’d say it’s totally worth it.
The song is written by Hanne, and co-produced by Ellie Goulding’s go-to producer Jim Eliot, the latter gave the emotional track an upbeat and organic indie-pop production.
