Mayah –
The song represents new beginnings to me along with the warm, soft, innocence of butterflies. It represents the uncertainty of new relationships which have the potential to become something beautiful, much like a butterfly

I was in high school and started having feelings for someone at my school.

The inspiration of this song comes from the feeling of new, Innocent and unexpected love which feels like butterflies. It’s a sense of excitement, joy and unknown possibilities.

My favourite lyric in the song would be “Butterflies came alive” because I can relate so much to that one line. The feeling really does feel like butterflies.

The intention of this song is to remind people of that beautiful feeling we all get when we start having feelings for someone. I know how wonderful that feeling is and I would like to remind people of that joy.

Strangely, as a young teenager I didn’t listen to much music and so for a long time, including in high school, I didn’t have many musical influences.
