« If I Couldn’t » is a heartfelt message from Lewis Edwards to his loved ones, expressing the challenges of balancing personal commitments with the pursuit of his music career.
Indeed, reflecting on the inspiration behind the song, he shares, « I was going through a testing time being a new father and not feeling like I could be there for friends and family like I used to be as I have a new family I need to care and provide for. The song is about reminding those who I can’t always be in contact with or see them as much as I used to when I didn’t have commitments, a music career i’m persuing, that I care just as much as I always have and that ‘If I Coudn’t’ be that for you I hope you find it somehow, whether through another person, yourself or other avenues. The second verse delves into my own struggles and not able to be there mentally for you as I have too much on my plate to take on other peoples issues. It’s not that I don’t care I can’t be what you needed right now. »
