This song takes me instantly to "Fly Like a Bird" from her previous album. To me, perhaps this one carries a somberer tone and a less optimistic outlook. You can't help but feel moved by the emotions so raw that Mariah is able to express. Obviously she's talking about herself and her own struggles with depression and judgement and hatred coming from others, some of them who don't even know her. Anyone who has been there can relate. She is reminding, even imploring herself to be strong and to rise above all those who hurt her without reason, to not to let them drag her down. Very moving, very emotional, very inspiring when you're not feeling so good about yourself.
