Sheryl Crow unfurled her new single “I Know” on Friday (May 23) in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month.

On the tender ballad, the nine-time Grammy winner lays out the importance of empathy and connection as she sings, “But maybe I could hold your hand/ And count the teardrops as they flow/ And promise never to let go/ I see the struggle in your face/ The only thing that I can say/ Is I know/ I know/ I know how it feels,” over restrained guitars.

The singer-songwriter, who recently served as a Mega Mentor on the just-concluded season 27 of The Voice, also opened up about the inspiration behind the song in a social media post on Wednesday (May 23). “In a recent moment when I was really struggling, I picked up my guitar and wrote a song… Sometimes when we’re struggling, just knowing that another soul can relate to what we’re feeling makes things a little bit better. That’s what this song is about,” she wrote.

Elsewhere in the caption, she championed the mission of mental health nonprofit organization To Write Love on Her Arms, which provides resources in order for people struggling with their mental health to find affordable resources such as therapy.

“And this I REALLY love: they have a ‘Disconnect to Reconnect’ challenge which encourages people to get off social media for two weeks and reconnect to what matters most,” Crow continued. “Social media isn’t really great for anyone’s emotional well-being, so encouraging folks to [put] the phone down and enjoy nature, family and friends, music….I do that all the time, and I know how beneficial it is to take a break.”
