Kimberly Perry Had A Miscarriage Months Before Getting Pregnant Again
The Band Perry’s “If I Die Young” gets almost one million streams a week in the U.S. and has totalled almost 300 million streams since its release in 2010.
Now it’s getting a second life with Kimberly Perry’s “If I Die Young Part 2”.
It’s her first single as a solo artist.
In an interview, she explained the difference between the two versions and the personal tragedy that inspired the new one.
“I had just gone through a miscarriage a few months before, which was a sad time. So, while writing ‘Part Two’, it was like ‘I’d love to set this intention that there’s a baby coming. A healthy baby who’s going to be here at some point.’ It felt like it really held hands with the original because the entire original version was this romantic plea for all the things I was hoping for . . . and a few months after we recorded this song, I found out I was pregnant.”
