Lavigne says in a statement that the song, written during her battle with Lyme disease, was a beautiful experience shared between the pair.
“One night when I was starting to feel better, I had a party at my house and somehow Travis was there. I had never met him before. I found him on my piano and I just thought he was so unbelievably talented, and I asked him to finish the song with me.”
The singer continued her statement on the track saying how grateful she is to be able to put her story out into the world.
