Speaking ahead of its release,Fiona-Lee explained: “‘Nothing Compares To Nineteen’ is my own story of growing up and struggling with anxiety and depression when I was at school. I wrote it a couple years after a life long friend had taken his life and I was experiencing grief for the first time. It made me think about a conversation I’d had with my dad when I was about 15, where he told me that he’d also struggled with depression when he was young but never got help."

"It was the first time I became properly aware of the difference between men and women when it comes to talking about our feelings – and that became even clearer when I was 19 and witnessed it first hand with my friend dying," she continues. "So I guess the song is really something I hope young people can find some comfort in, knowing that they’re not the only socially anxious kid out there that’s intimidated by the boys at school – and I also hope it can keep the conversation going about the importance of men being able to express themselves truthfully and feeling they can ask for help when they need it.”
