“We knew when we first heard this song that it was incredibly special. It literally took my breath. I gasped when I realized what this song was actually about. These three women poured their heart and soul into an incredibly special once in a lifetime song, and the fact that we were able to cut it is an incredible gift, and we’ll always be thankful to them for letting us do it!”
