Story Behind The Song
The start of the song was based off of a couple of girls C-Dub dated in high school. Both had made choices in their past that had branded them as outsiders. People thought that one choice they made had determined them and it got into the young women's heads. This song is a song for them, the words he tried to tell them in high school. It doesn't matter what others think of you, I see how amazing you are. You are better than they think and I want to give you the Spotlight so you can shine.

Hey Girl, what's wrong
