Rina Sawayama's "Catch Me in the Air" track is inspired by The Corrs

In November last year Sawayama debuted "Catch Me in the Air" at a show in Glasgow, and in a new interview with Rolling Stone UK, it was revealed that the song is inspired by The Corrs.

Sawayama said of the song, which celebrates her mother, "I had ‘catch me in the air’ written down as a note already. From the pre-chorus to the chorus I wanted to have that feeling of a lift, as though you’re jumping off a cliff into crystal-clear water."

She said of the song itself, "It’s about how we’ve kind of caught each other in the air at different times in our lives, and how intense single parenthood can be. Just celebrating that partnership because when you [have] a single mum, they’re your sister and your child at the same time. Just writing about the complications of that from an adult perspective."

Sawayama also revealed the sort of images she sent to producer Stuart Price to complete the track, "It was someone meditating on the edge of the cliff, it was seagulls, it was someone on a pier, it was Irish coastline, waves hitting, and he absolutely nailed it – it does sound like that."

Earlier this month Sawayama delivered the lead single from Hold The Girl, "This Hell".
