"Sweet" is a reflective love song that touches on complicated relationships. It’s about recognizing when a connection, no matter how meaningful, isn’t serving you anymore. I wanted to explore the difficult yet powerful realization that sometimes, despite the love and experiences shared, the healthiest choice is to let go. 

It's about embracing the growth that comes from acknowledging the toxicity in certain dynamics and accepting that parting ways is a form of love—saying thank you for the lessons, while letting go to move forward. It’s a song about finding peace and gratitude in the tough, transformative moments.
