“It is naked,intimate,raw emotion,little more than piano and voice as if it is a cry from the soul,” said Grigorieva describing the song.
Meanwhile critics have slammed the single saying that it is something you would hear at a fancy hotel bar during cocktail hour.
Grigorieva first stepped out with the 53-year-old filmmaker at a Los Angeles screening of X-Men Origins: Wolverine on April 28,two weeks after Gibson’s wife of 28 years Robyn filed for divorce.
