Background

In an Interview released by Fiji Performing Rights Association, Elena Baravilala discuss the song as: "So it was a song that came out last year while I was going through certain circumstances, Being in the public eye, you are always expected to be inspirational and motivational and there is like a consistent pressure from the public on you all the time," Elena Baravilala also shared. "You have to be a certain person to always be the one providing the strength so a lot of the time people can carry on with your strength but they can’t carry your weakness, So at that very moment when you are looking for someone to carry both — your strengths and weaknesses — there was no one there and the only thing I had was the gift of music".[4]
