An amazing song for the ages! Kane told Variety, “As an artist, you want to release a song that everybody can relate to and not argue about. So, I don’t think there’s anything arguable in the song. It’s just saying everybody should be treated the same, and stop looking at colors, because everybody’s worldwide beautiful… I hope the song gets more life."
