Background

The song lyrics details how people of all walks of life can use their freedom through the power of motivation and self-expression. In an interview with Billboard Moran explained that "Whether as a child or adult, teenager or senior citizen, struggling to understand how to achieve their dreams and goals, how to be accepted in a particular situation or environment, how to be loved by those you only dream of loving you was the inspiration," adding that "All things are possible if you can love yourself. Dance empowers you to travel to places where love is endless, acceptance is ensured and you are 'Free' to be anyone you want to be." [1]
