“I’m Here” tells the story of realizing that the person you thought was your everything could never truly be—because it was always you. The song reflects the journey of self-reliance, recognizing that you are the one who will carry yourself through life’s challenges and joys, ensuring you never feel alone.

Co-written by Sage Wilde and Joey Haenen during a July 2021 workshop led by Nancy Bates, “I’m Here” is a folk ballad that features a gentle, meandering guitar melody complemented by whimsical piano accents. Joey’s rich, resonant vocals give the track its signature sound, while Sage’s supporting harmonies compliment, bringing the whole arrangement together.
