"As someone who has had PTSD, I have dealt with crippling fear at points in my life. But, at some point I knew that I couldn’t let fear drive the car anymore. I was tired of the lies fear whispered to me, and the ways it held me back, so I made a conscious choice to say, enough is enough and face those fears, and find freedom and healing. That’s what this song is about. The freedom that comes from looking your fear in the face, and saying I’m done with you", explains Brittany.
