The original basis for the song is Guardian written by Stirling, Taylor Bird and Peter Hanna for her 2019 album Artemis.

The song is widely recognised as a tribute to Stirling's late father, and her friend and former bandmate Jason Gaviati who died in 2015.

[1] Mako had met Stirling whilst she was working on the single "Love Goes On and On" with Amy Lee of Evanescence.

It was accompanied by a press release and dedicated page on her website where the song can be streamed across multiple services.

[4] The video features Mako in an abandoned warehouse with just a Yamaha piano, with two large spotlights behind him playing and singing.

An additional music video was created for the song, featuring Stirling and Mako performing alongside each other accompanied by two backing violinists.
