It’s a song that helps you overcome the pain of heartbreak and gives you the courage to take a new step forward.

It’s recommended for times when you’re feeling down or need to fire yourself up—you’ll gain the courage to face forward and move ahead.

It employs hooks reminiscent of Bon Jovi’s You Give Love a Bad Name and Bonnie Tyler’s If You Were a Woman (And I Was a Man), and—remarkably—shares the same songwriter, inheriting the spirit of those hit songs.
