Background

The song is dedicated to his great friend and musical collaborator Luke Liang, who died following a battle with mental health.[5] Sebastian said "[His death] was very unexpected. In fact, I'd actually done a gig with Luke, who passed away, just before I left for LA. And I could sense that something wasn't quite right... It was very hard to process and it still is." The song was originally a ballad, but Sebastian changed it into "an upbeat, poignant song about the choir of voices Liang has joined in death, and the choir of voices "keeping his light alive" on earth."[6]

Sebastian performed an acoustic version of the song on 60 Minutes.[5]
