This new track is a thank-you to those who helped her find light at the end of the tunnel, emphasizing the importance of people who make you feel like “nothing else matters” when you’re with them.
For Chloé-Jade, music is a therapeutic outlet.
“When I write about my personal experiences, it’s easier to feel the music and understand what comes next. But it also forces me to go deep into my emotions,”.
