[1] James TW explained in a 1:12 minute YouTube video that he came up with the song during the time he was teaching some children to play musical instruments.

James wanted a song that his music student and other children passing through a similar situation could listen to, to give them hope and make them realise that "what happened in life was perhaps for the best".
