Kimberly Perry Suffered A Miscarriage Before New Music
Kimberly Perry recounts her difficult road to motherhood in a new mini-documentary that centers around “If I Die Young” and its follow-up sequel song, the recently released “If I Die Young Pt. 2.”
In the five-and-a-half-minute video, Perry says that shortly before she wrote the “Pt. 2” version of the song, she suffered a pregnancy loss. “I had actually just gone through a miscarriage a few months before, which was a really sad time,” the singer details. “So in writing the second verse, it was like, ‘Well, I would really love to set this intention that there is a baby coming, a healthy baby who’s gonna be here at some point.”
The Boot says that the second verse traces three generations of a family and finds Perry straddled between her love for her mother and her hope to pass down her legacy to a child of her own one day.
