According to Entertainment Weekly, in a statement announcing the single, the young singer says, “I feel so many emotions. I’m excited, I’m nervous, mostly grateful and happy… The freedom to create, not being told what to sing and how to sing it, what to write; it’s awesome. It’s a gift, it’s a blessing.”

Many people have asked Jackson if her father would have accepted her music, causing her to respond: “I don’t know. I’m not him, so I can’t speak for him. But I hope he would be happy, and I think he would be stoked because I’m happy.”
