During the show, Alessia explained that the song helped her friend to win back his ex.

“It was inspired by a friend’s break up. I know that sounds like a lie, but it really is about a friend! It was the only song I wrote that wasn’t about me,” Alessia explained.

She continued, “Basically my friend was going through a break up and asked me to write a song to help him express himself to his girlfriend…and he played her the song once it was done and now they’re back together!”

FYI: Alessia is wearing head to toe rag & bone for her interview.
