Background
Sebastian co-wrote the song with Jamie Hartman, who also produced and co-wrote "Before I Go", the Platinum-selling, lead single from Sebastian's forthcoming album. Sebastian said "We've written quite a few tunes together, Jamie and myself, so it's proving to be a good partnership".
The song centres around issues surrounding mental-ill health and the struggle to support loved ones who are suffering. In a lead-up to the song's release, Sebastian said "A family member of mine was going through a very tough time, and he was brave enough to share his battle with his own mental health, and that inspired this song".
Sebastian and Hartman tapped into their own experiences with the vastly increasing number of people who are struggling with depression and mental health issues. Sebastian said "It's about the power of just being there. Sometimes as a friend or as a support to people who go through things it's not about having the right anecdotes or answers; it's really more about just being that silent presence. Especially at a time like this when there's a lot of people who are feeling isolated, this song is a reminder to look out for people who feel alone".
