I wrote it about overcoming your hardest challenges, we all have them and we can all overcome them and so today, I\u2019ve decided during this song.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">&#8220;I\u2019m going to walk and hope for the best.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">She added: &#8220;If you could all get behind me with this one, I\u2019d love you very very much for that.

Like a 3 second difference from it coming out of speakers to reaching the other side of the stadium, without in ears or a floor monitor it is almost impossible to sing in time or pitch yourself !!<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">&#8220;Lola you&#8217;re doing amazing!
