H.E.R. wants to motivate fans through music. On Thursday, May 18, the Grammy Awards-winning artist released a new single called "The Journey" in which she encourages listeners to trust the process amid difficulty.
"All the times you thought you'd never make it through, felt just like the world just turned it's back on you/ Didn't stop you, all the times you could've give in and you'd given up," the 25-year-old sings. "Times you didn't know if you were strong enough, still you got through/ Somehow it's all part of the plan, the journey, the journey, the journey, it's the journey/ It's the getting there to where you're going to."
"The Journey" was first announced in April as part of ESPN's storytelling for the 2023 NBA Playoffs Presented by Google Pixel. The song itself is written by the legendary Diane Warren.
Of working with Diane, H.E.R. said in an interview with Zane Lowe, "I worked with her when I was 14…. She was like, 'I've been working on this song.' I put my thing on it, and I produced it out and it turned into this moment." She added, "I think it's sent from God… We were listening to Brian Adams, we were listening to Whitney. We were listening to all my favorites. Journey, the band."
