Music video

[edit]

The video features footage of Michaels personally meeting members of the Sorry for Your Loss community on Facebook. In a statement released along with the video, Michaels said "When I first met Carol [one of the group members], she said those women were a tribe. There are many people out there who are willing to love you, and willing to listen – you just have to find the right people who will do that. When I read all the comments around Sorry for Your Loss, about everybody being there for each other, I sort of wanted to write [the song] from that angle. I think that's one of the best parts about songwriting, that I can channel someone's feelings and put them into a song."[1]

Reception
