About this piece

Practice tips
- The verse uses a gentle C-Am-F-G pattern with a soft, pulsing rhythm — keep the left hand light and let the right-hand melody float above with Billie's signature breathy quality.
- The chorus opens up with wider chord voicings — spread the chords across both hands to fill more of the register and create a sense of emotional expansion.
- The production is minimal, so your dynamics must do the heavy lifting — practice playing the verse at pp and the chorus at mf, no louder.
