I was inspired after the hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, where lots of people lost their homes and were without internet, electricity, water for a long time. This song transport listeners to a soundtrack-like sound with a string ensemble arrangement and orchestra percussion, combined with acoustic drums, a dramatic climax with strong vocal ad libs, backed up by a gospel vocal arrangement, a funky bass line and a guitar solo underneath.
