Songfacts®:

  • Jessie's impressive vocal range soars over this piano composition as she sings about a relative suffering from Alzheimer's. "It's about somebody in my family who's unwell, and it's the most personal song I've ever written," she told The Daily Mail. "That person is still here, but they are not their old selves any more."

  • TThis is a good song that anyone that has a loved one with dementia will truly feel and understand.
  • Alison Dawson from Nottingham. UkI always think of my mum when I hear this song, because she suffered with dementia. She's unfortunately gone in person now, but sometimes I think it was a blessing because she's not suffering this awful disease anymore.x
