According to Variety, Tems, who has written the song, said, “After speaking with Ryan and hearing his direction for the film and the song, I wanted to write something that portrays a warm embrace from all the people that I’ve lost in my life. I tried to imagine what it would feel like if I could sing to them now and express how much I miss them.” “Rihanna has been an inspiration to me so hearing her convey this song is a great honor,” he added.
