Natalie said the song is about "surrendering to the chaos and seeing what's on the other side of it is a good life lesson. Letting something fall apart, and being okay with that, is something that I have had to do in my life, numerous times, but especially moving into this record and becoming a mum. So, I'm really excited about that song, and about the video, which is total escapist fun – the world needs that right now."<ref name="scenestr"/> |
