‘The lyrics mean a lot to me. I only care what you guys think,’ she continued.
In the sultry song, Sophie’s raspy voice is heard singing the cryptic lyrics: ‘I’ve seen some things, that would make a grown man cry. So many things, that I have to leave behind. So complicated, but I prefer the simple life.’
Sophie’s music career began in 1999, when she competed on reality show Popstars.
She went on to form the band Bardot, which was active from 2000 to 2002, before embarking on a solo career with Warner Music. She left her label two years later.

Bardot celebrated their 20th anniversary last year, and the band reunited for a series of media appearances to mark the occasion.
But Sophie was noticeably absent, and Daily Mail Australia understands she is keen to distance herself from the girl band.
When asked about Tiffani’s criticism on The Ben, Rob & Robbo Show, Sophie said: ‘I don’t know what to say, to be honest.
‘I’ve spoken to one of the girls, but the others I haven’t spoken to for 18 years.’
