Built around a simple, piano-centered arrangement, its message—find your voice, recognize your power, and overcome adversity—truly resonates.
The music video portrays ordinary people working through financial hardship, visually reinforcing the song’s theme.
Performed at the 2020 Grammy Awards with Brittany Howard and later certified platinum, it’s a work that gives courage to all of us who face our jobs every day, urging us to walk with pride no matter our position.

Feelings of loneliness—like tears turning into a river that still means nothing—and the pain of being misunderstood are delicately conveyed through dreamy synths and ambient textures.
To celebrate the album, which took about three years to make, a live performance is planned at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles.
It’s a song that gently resonates with anyone struggling with the disconnect between appearance and emotion, or navigating opaque, uncertain days.
