With her amazing storytelling skills, the Girls Trip star sat down with EriTV to talk more about her experience connecting with family members for the first time, and things definitely got emotional during the conversation.

"I felt like my heart was being healed," she says, describing her emotional experience in the Red Sea. "I've been through a lot of things. I was trying to figure out, 'Who am I?' And now I have a way better understanding of who I am, why I'm on this earth—what my purpose is."

Stonebwoy recently stopped by Ebro Darden Apple Music Beats 1 radio show to talk about the new single. During that interview he also revealed that he has a new album coming in 2020.

"People have to realize that they have to be mentally strong and they have to know that they are seeds. No matter what people do to them, or what they go through, they have to get down there, they have to be buried to grow into trees to grow fruit. This is a very inspirational song."
