Testimonial
“LOVE IT!!! you guys are amazing. I really think she’s going to be blown away, as am I. Thank you so much! I’m so excited for her. This will lift her so high! I must have listened to the song a thousand times and wanted to share with you how we’ll bring it to life for our daughter. First off, you and your team are absolute magic, seriously. Warm and emotional, yet strong and clear. Y’all really outdid yourselves. We made a YouTube video of her with her friends in it. Her song playing in the background”
Story Behind the Song
This song originally began as a poem written by a young girl. As she was writing these words, her mother read them over her shoulder and initiated a conversation. The daughter admitted to her mother that she was being bullied at school. The girl simply wanted to be the truest version of herself but could not escape the negativity and cruelty from her peers. Inspired by her daughter, the mother took a picture of her daughter’s poem and decided to transform it into a song for her. The daughter’s parents also created an accompanying video, which featured all of her friends, while her poem, now a song, plays in the background. On Christmas morning the daughter received this unique and heartfelt gift; the daughter was thrilled that she was now a songwriter!
