He also performed on October 1st and 8th at the Austin City Limits and at the Shaky Knees Festival on October 22nd he also dropped in at Atlanta’s Terminal West that evening.
Billboard lauded the song is as “a well-timed, uplifting pop ballad that reminds us all better days are ahead,” and the V Magazine agreed by saying, “it’s the grand declaration of “it gets better” tunes.” The track has already amassed over 16 million worldwide streams to date.
