A lyrical video was posted on Roberts' official Twitter account. She performed an acoustic version of the track which was then uploaded to her official YouTube channel. Roberts appeared on British morning show BBC Breakfast to discuss her activism and the lyricism of the track which led her to do the same on BBC News and discuss the same issues with Rolling Stone.
