The single opens with a calm, atmospheric intro, where Jason sings in a near-whisper, asking: "Who hurt you so bad that you forgot how to feel?" – a simple phrase that carries enormous emotional weight. His voice sounds mature, steady, full of emotion, as if it carries the experience and pain of a person who has been through a lot, but remains tender.
The song's production is minimal yet deep, full of R&B elements, strong beats, and ambient sounds that heighten the intensity without drowning out the vocals. It's a track that proves Derulo knows how to balance mainstream commercialism with artistic honesty.

In the chorus, the tension peaks: "Tell me who hurt you, I just wanna make it right / I can see the pain hiding behind your eyes"It is a cry of understanding and acceptance, a refrain that will surely move many listeners who have felt this same burden.
