“I wrote it for my little sister, Madison. We didn’t know how bad my brain damage would be [after my overdose],” Lovato said of the song.

“When I woke up in the hospital, I couldn’t see her, and that’s what this song is about. Not being able to see her but, at the same time, I use the lyrics, ‘I was blind, but now I see, and I see you,’ ” she continued. “I’m talking about, no matter what, always being able to see my little sister.”

“I actually played it for her in the car after she graduated high school.I was like, ‘Hey, I have a little present for you.’ We both just were like sobbing the whole time because that moment was really emotional for the both of us,” added the singer.

At the end of the special, Lovato performed ‘ICU,’ where she closed out her performance with a sweet message for her 19-year-old sister. “I love you, Madison!” Lovato said.
