According To Sawayama “This Song Is Written From The Perspective Of A Mother Apologizing For Not Being Able To Love Their Queer Son Due To Her Traditional Religious Beliefs. It Was Inspired By A True Story Where My Friend’s Mum After Years Of Not Supporting Her Son‘s Queerness Ended A Normal Phone Call With “Send My Love To John” My Friend’s Long-Term Boyfriend. It Was A Breakthrough Moment In Their Relationship Where She Acknowledged Queerness In A Positive Way. I Wanted To Write A Song For People Who Need To Hear The Words Sorry But May Never Hear Them From The Ones They Loved And Trusted Most.”
