“I believe everything happens for a reason, I think sometimes you gotta go through the bad to find the good. This song is about finding that good and realising how bad the bad times actually were. Things will always work out for the best.
I’ve been working on this one for a long time now and I cannot contain my excitement to finally have it out in the world. This is a song I’ve been secretly listening to in the car when I’m on my own.
We’re coming up to festival season and I’ll be popping up at a few music festivals around the country that I’m very excited for. I have so much music that’s just waiting to be shown to the world this year.
A big thank you to the fans that have been there from the beginning and are seeing everything grow right in front of them. I am forever grateful.”
