The song talks about that feeling of \u2018what could have been\u2019 with somebody; on the day I wrote about it with Sarah and Gil, it all just sort of came out. I didn\u2019t want to fully forget about it, so I think writing this was almost like finishing a book, and now it\u2019s ready to be shelved \u2013 but who knows, maybe one day this book will be revisited\u2026 I hope you can sing, scream, cry, and laugh to this song.\u201d<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>With her sensational powerhouse vocals and dynamic stage presence, Selin is fast becoming a key name to watch.
