I wanted &#8216;The Hero&#8217; to be a loving reminder that there is no shame in asking for help, even if you are the one that usually has it together and takes care of others. If we can openly talk about and deal with these vulnerable moments it could prevent much deeper problems later on.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The single&#8217;s evocative music video depicts a varied cast of characters immersed in water and struggling towards the surface. \u201cI wanted to somehow recreate that feeling of drowning that life can cause to feel when stress overwhelms us.
