During their 2021 documentary, Dancing With The Devil, Lovato described the emotional moment they woke up after a near-fatal overdose in the ICU, legally blind and unable to recognize their sister, Madison, who was sitting right next to them.

Lovato describes the bedside reality-check as the inspiration behind this emotional tribute. They reaffirm their commitment to be the sister they should be and their admiration for the person Madison has become. The song serves not only as a tribute, but as a promise from Lovato that they have learned from their past struggles and that they can see clearly, as they sing, “I see you.”
