The track is a heartfelt, uplifting fusion of hip-hop and pop, that reflects on the past year and the ups and downs it’s brought. Rowlette’s smooth, melodic vocals compliment Craig’s honest rap verses.The combination works really well, Rowlette's delivery is confident yet consoling whereas the rap verses provided by Craig Cooney cut to the core, bring a realization of what you have, what you've achieved, what you're grateful for over the year that's almost gone. We all know it has been a challenging time in many ways and there are high hopes for the year to come so keep your fingers crossed and your head full of dreams.
