Gilchrist explained, 'Holding space' is being physically, emotionally and mentally present with someone or something. It means being in the moment, not being distracted.
Cynthia Erivo expressed, 'I didn't know that was happening. That's really powerful,' responding to the emotional impact of the lyrics in the interview.
Gilchrist noted, 'You can hold space with lyrics of a song and it can suddenly take on new meaning when you're a queer person,' highlighting personal resonance.
She added, 'There's a lot of resonance there right now for anyone who is marginalized,' drawing parallels between the song's message and contemporary struggles.
