She then turns the tone of the dark scene into a brighter, more upbeat one with lyrics like,

I’ve seen them come and go and
I’ve been rich and poor man
But I’m still resilient
I’m always gonna be here
‘Cause I’m supposed to be here
Then do it, I’m owning my existence

Martin was joined on set by her friends Tasha Smith, Nikki Chu and former House Party cast mate AJ Johnson. The ladies were all smiles as they watched Martin bring her heartfelt lyrics to visual life. The butterfly filled video shows a happy and slender Martin celebrating a fresh outlook on her life and the return of her first passion, music.
