Speaking on the inspiration behind the song, Sam explains “We are all looking around at what’s happening in the world and it is just messed. You’ve got no choice
but to look up to the sky and put your hands together and pray for something to happen, because I feel helpless as a human right now.”

Smith performed the emotional and hard hitting original song on Saturday Night Live last year ahead his performance at The GRAMMY Awards earlier this year to a spellbound audience in Madison Square Gardens.
