In the caption, Allen described more about the meaning behind the track.

“Wrote this song about how I feel a lot of the time,\" he detailed. \"Mental illness is something I have struggled with my entire life. Everyday is a constant battle with myself. To everyone struggling, remember you’re not alone and it’s ok to say you’re not ok.\"

Fans flooded the comments section with encouraging words, with one writing, \"That’s courageous! Thank you for sharing,\" while another praises, \"this is so powerful.\"

In 2020, the singer opened up about how he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when he was 13 and also struggles with anxiety.
