Transcript

This time last year, I tried to hop up that stage. No guys, my ears are going. Can I get my ears in, please? And, it all went a bit wrong for me, unfortunately. So I just dropped a new song. This song is called From Down Here. I wrote it about kind of overcoming your hardest challenges. We all have them, and we good all overcome them. And so today, I've decided during this song, I'm gonna walk and hopefully and hope for the best. So if you could all best behind me with this one, I'd be I love you very, very much for that. This song is called From Down Here. Thank you, Capitol, for giving me another chance, and thank you everyone here. Rank you very much. To everyone who thinks they can't get to the end, you can.
