The song is about Raye being sexually assaulted when she was 17 by a music producer, who forced his hand between her legs.
“I wanted to sing this song for you today,” Raye said. “I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s because I need to sing this song for myself, too.”
“It’s a very difficult subject. When I started looking at the statistics, I realised that one in four women and men will experience some form of sexual violence in their lifetime.”

Raye added: ‘And that’s a quarter of you. That’s 20,000 people in this room who will relate to the words of this song, which blows my mind because I know most of us walk around pretending everything’s okay, and sometimes it’s not.
‘Sometimes you need to speak out loud about things you’ve kept silent about your entire life, and for me, the way to do that is through my music, so please excuse the sad subject matter of this song.’
At the end of the emotional song, Raye said: “Thank you for being patient with me. Yeah, that’s a lot.”
