Logic's song, featuring Alessia Cara and Khalid, strikes an important note. "1-800-273-8255" is also the hotline for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
In a series of tweets, Logic described his inspiration for the song saying, "over the years so many of you guys have told me that my music has helped you through so many tough times. Many of you have told me its even saved your life. I'm beyond humbled. But I felt I haven't done enough. ... I made this song for all of you who are in a dark place and can't seem to find the light."
