In Their Words: “‘Sweet Symphony’ is a song I wrote about the love that I got to witness my parents share as a kid. Itās about the vulnerability, the fear, and the ups and downs that come from loving someone. Showing all of yourself so that someone else can accept and celebrate you is what itās all about. Iām excited to have Chris Stapleton on this song not only because he has one of the most iconic voices on the planet, but also, heās just an incredible songwriter, artist, and instrumentalist. I feel very lucky and honored that he wanted to be part of this song.” — Joy Oladokun
