On Instagram, she added that she had been “nervous” to post the clip.
“But just know: if the ones you love support you — THATS ALL U NEED,” she wrote.
“It’s been a long journey YALL… but I think it’s about that time.”
The track features the classic powerful vocals of the Good As Hell singer on top of a vibrant beat.
The lyrics read: “In case nobody told you today – you’re special.
“In case nobody made you believe – you’re special. Well, I will always have you to say – You’re special.
“I’m so glad that you’re still with us. Broken but damn you’re still perfect.”
