I wrote the song the day after I canceled my debut album, ‘Ugly Is Beautiful.’ I had to cancel the album due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though it was out of my control, I do feel like I let my fans down, so I made them the song is an apology.

A lot of people are mad. I lost a lot of fans. When I say “Please don’t let me down,” that’s me writing from my fans perspective. I was shocked at how many people were upset by the album cancellation. There is a lot more important things happening right now, millions of people are losing their jobs, potentially millions of people will lose their lives. I honestly didn’t even think anyone cared about the album, apparently I was wrong. The night I canceled ‘Ugly Is Beautiful,’ I lost over 150,000 followers on Instagram. I know I let a lot of people down, but I will come around and I will have this album come out eventually at some point in the next five to 10 years.
