"Thankful" is a personal song dedicated to the memory of Stephanie Gayle's late cousin, A. Michael Martin, who passed on during the early surge of COVID-19 in New York City. The song begins with Michael's last voice message to Stephanie, and once the song begins, she expresses the guilt she feels when she is notified of his passing 5 days later. Despite her guilt, she is thankful that she was able to see him and celebrate life with him one last time.
