It&#8217;s almost like a female empowerment song without it being a female empowerment song. It&#8217;s us saying, &#8216;Hey we have anxiety and we&#8217;re OK with it.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And she was like, &#8216;I am so into this, I love this so much,'&#8221; Michaels shared. &#8220;And that&#8217;s how that whole thing happened, really. And I&#8217;m just so grateful that she&#8217;s on it and I&#8217;m so grateful that the song&#8217;s gonna be out.
