“I started writing ‘Somebody Else’ a few years ago. It reflects a moment in my life when I suddenly understood that what I had been doing until that point was driven by fear, not love. It was a painful realization that forced me to change. From that moment on, I learned how to flex a love muscle, not a fear one. Eventually, I grew stronger and broke the chains that were holding me back.”
