In a recent interview, she shared insights into the song’s journey, explaining, “It’s a song called ‘You & Me.’ I did the recording about 3-4 years ago. It was in the closet for a while, but while I was preparing for this concert, I thought about what kind of performances and songs I wanted to do and looked through songs with Teddy. We decided to bring out that song we liked, that’s when we decided to prepare for it.”
