“I wanted to compose something that depicted a warm embrace from all the people that I’ve lost in my life after speaking with Ryan and hearing his perspective for the song and the movie. I made an effort to picture how it would feel to sing to them right now and let them know how much I miss them, said Tems. “To hear Rihanna perform this song is a huge pleasure because she has been an inspiration to me.”
