A deeply emotional and sobering track, “23” is Diamond Eye’s second single of 2020, recalling the story of his reaction to Christina Grimmie’s passing in 2016. Diamond Eyes gave a telling description of the song on Twitter:

“23” encompasses more than just grief… the song is about resilience in the face of emptiness, finding strength in places you never thought to have existed.

The song was released with frequent promoter NCS a week after Diamond Eyes had first teased it.
