They Overcame Rocky Childhoods

“I’m Ok”

Before we talk about the song, let’s start with what Aguilera had to say about her past. “Growing up I did not feel safe. Feeling powerless is the worst feeling in the world. I turned to singing as an outlet. The pain at home is where my love for music came from,” she said.

In the start of the song, she sings sorrowfully, “In her early years she had to learn, how to grow up living in a war she called home.” Seeing as she called her home a war, it’s understandable that her mother worked hard to get the both of them out of there.
