“‘Yesterdays’ resonates with the times when I’ve been caught up with my past, ensnared by an unending cycle of regret and guilt from revisiting moments of days that are long gone. The song serves as a mirror for the listener, skillfully uniting the collective threads of our personal development. ‘Yesterdays’ is a heartfelt reminder that the best is yet to come, instilling confidence and self-assurance whilst encouraging us to let go of the burdens of who we used to be.” – LULU.
