Get in early soul-pop fans.The following dedication comes directly from the artist herself:I wanna dedicate this song to all people who''ve had a great deal of suffering in their life who''ve stayed strong on the outside yet are broken on the inside. I wanna let them know they are not alone.Just like I see this song as the closure of 15 years of drama and pain in my life I want them to find the strength inside themselves and let this song be an eye-opener. Only you have the power to set your own limits to demand self-respect and gain self-confidence again! The key is inside you. Nobody else can live your life.I have learned that without being at rock bottom I would never have gotten the insight that the drama actually was a true blessing in disguise. I needed this journey to grow as a person. Without the struggle you cannot appreciate the good things as much.I have a mission in my life. It is to help and heal others with my words. Through my songs I am able to do this on a large scale. It would be beautiful to see if I could only let a few people discover the truth within themselves. If the past didn''t happen I would never have become a singer-songwriter! Therefore I feel blessed and thankful.-S.
