Justin Timberlake & Lady Gaga). The EP's title track is a personal but peppy acoustic paean, which seems to be his favorite track on the set. "The song's about loving someone who is struggling with getting their life together and eventually having to move on," says Rome. "It's probably some of the most personal stuff I've put in a song. Sometimes all you need is the right people to pull the best out of you, and that's what I feel happened with the three of us. The right individuals, at the right place and time."
