"In a recent moment when I was really struggling, I picked up my guitar and wrote a song," Crow said of the track on social media. "I sent it to some friends and got such a strong reaction that I'm going to put it out this week - it's called 'I Know.' 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."
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and in a video statement posted on Instagram, Crow routed her fans to To Write Love On Her Arms, a mental health charity that is "presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide."
"At times, our challenges can seem so overwhelming that we need professional help, which for a lot of folks isn't always easy to find or access," Crow added.
"Therapy is often not covered by insurance and is expensive. To Write Love On Her Arms provides resources so people in need of help can find affordable care. 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 what matters most. Social media isn't really great for anyone's emotional well-being, so encouraging folks to out 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."
