==Background==
Yamin stated the writing of the song took four years, and has been a "constant work in progress". The song came to be two years after the "Me Too" movement of 2017, and was heavily influenced by it, alongside crimes of LGBTQ+ hate and domestic violence, which Yamin mentioned as topics close to his heart. Lyrically, the song speaks of refusing to mute oneself in front of words spoken by haters.
==Music video==
The song and music video were both released on November 12, 2023, alongside the pre-order of the new record.
The video was directed by Jack Patterson and features Yamin in a white shirt and headphones singing into a recorder, backed by an orchestra while an emotional story plays out.
The director has explained in the "Making of" video and in interviews that the video features a gay couple and "tells the tragic story of a conductor who loses his boyfriend in a bicycle crash. The conductor leads the symphony orchestra that Nash is part of."
Yamin performed the song on his Brooklyn show during Nash's Private Show Tour, which took place on the release day, and kept performing it until the end of the tour.
