Background

In a press statement, Walker said, "This song is about a mate of mine who went through a life-changing event as a teenager. It took a long time for him to heal… now he's one of the most outgoing, positive people you could ever meet. It got me thinking that we can all go through tough times; it's what you choose to do after that’s important. If something positive can come out of it, that's a really special thing." To celebrate the release of the song, Walker undertook a 'Zoom World Tour', performing in six countries over 12 hours. He performed to an intimate audience of 30 fans from different time zones, beginning with Australia before performing in France, Italy, Germany, the US and lastly the UK, coinciding with the official release of the song.[2]
