"Look at me now, I'm flying" Rina sings on the heartfelt anthem. "I really wanted to write about this weird relationship with single parents – you do catch each other in the air,” she said of the song, which she wrote in lockdown alongside Gracey and Oscar Scheller.
"We put in a key change to go into the chorus, at the end of the pre-chorus to make it lift and soar like a bird," she added.
