Background

Aurora started writing this song when she was nine. She explained to the 405: "It's a reminder of how important it is to not give yourself away for anyone else's love. Way too many people tend to stay in relationships where they go through verbal and physical abuse. It's a huge issue that needs awareness."[1]

In a BBC Radio 1 interview she said: "We sometimes go too far for the approval and love of someone else, when we should really just learn to love ourselves and that should be enough."[2]

"When I was 9 I wrote most of this song. I watched someone brave and kind not demanding the respect and love they deserved.

Growing up, I realized these things happen all around us. And we need to learn to be kind to ourselves and demand to be treated right. We all have the chance to climb up the ladder."
