What’s the song really about?

This song connects for the simple fact that it’s honest and regardless of the outcome, growing up is a part of life we all have to face – yes even you.
But don’t start sighing just yet!

Who knows it may just come in handy one day.
Thoughts From The Artist
Speaking on the song furlong echoed these sentiments revealing:
The transition from childhood into adulthood is something we all get to experience. We learn to accept the challenges & changes as a part of our daily lives, the transformations bringing with them their own unique lessons. From this place it’s important to remember where you’ve come from, to acknowledge the benefits of being ‘as a child’, of freedom without limitations, about endless possibilities & dreaming of the future, of pure happiness in it’s truest form. Those feelings of joy & remembering to never let them go.
