"I spent the last two years thinking about what I wanted this song to be, only for it to be written over night," she added. "This song is about the celebration of life."

"This song and video is an homage to her mother, and it also happens to be my wedding anniversary with Kelly," he said. "It is one of the songs on her upcoming album that I helped produce -- please enjoy!"
