Dr. Alex George speaks on the single:

“I am so excited to be releasing my first ever spoken word piece accompanied by the incredibly talented Luke Howard. I started #PostYourPill with the aim of ending medication stigma and helping people feel empowered to get the help that they need. I didn’t know where this movement would go, but it has grown far bigger than I could ever have imagined.”

“I hope that this piece continues to spark conversations around medication stigma and reminds anyone listening that they are not alone. I can’t say I ever thought I’d find myself in a recording studio and releasing a track, but I want it to remind everyone that the darkness can lift and there is always hope of a better day.”.
