"This song is all about how even if I can’t do anything else to relieve the pain and uncertainty, the one thing I know I can do is always be there for her, and that’s my intention from now until eternity. To consistently always show up," Majozi wrote on Instagram. 

Majozi and Daniela Ing joined the Scenic Drive to talk about depression, and how it affects the lives of those living with it. 

"I was diagnosed with PTSD when I was 18, due to my upbringing. Later on, I was diagnosed with depression," Daniela Ing said. 

"I think the most important thing is, to be honest about where you at. Know your boundaries and triggers. It's okay to say no. Speak out, or write it down when you are having a bad day."

"It is difficult but it is all about understanding and listening to them," Majozi. 

Majozi also mentioned that it's all about learning and doing research on the topic.
