The “self" is such a powerful thing. It’s your anchor, your compass—nurture it, love it, take care of it. That’s the greatest gift you can give yourself. This song is about checking in with yourself, about realizing that even when life pulls you in different directions, your true self is still right there, waiting for you. It’s a reminder not to lose that connection, not to leave yourself behind. Walk with yourself, celebrate yourself, and keep showing up for the person who knows you best—you.
