Sara Bareilles stuns on the red carpet as she arrives at the 2018 Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction and Awards Dinner on Thursday night (June 14) at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City.
The 38-year-old singer looked super chic in a light blue and gold gown as she attended the event where she was honored with the Hal David Starlight Award.
The song was co-written with David Hodges and JKash, along with Raining Jane. Jason came up with the song after receiving and translating a blessing from a Buddhist monk during a visit to Myanmar in 2012. Current events inspired him to bring it to life.
“The world had changed a lot since 2012. More people are marching for their freedoms and equality; to be seen and heard. Activism is back in style. I wrote a lot of frustrated, angry, even sad songs between then and now, but nothing I wanted to come forward with; nothing I wanted to sing. ‘Have It All’ stood out as a song with a hopeful message to help me heal and move forward; a song with a message of generosity – the antithesis of despondency; a song bestowed to me by translating a message from a monk. It’s a blessing disguised as a rap song and it’s meant to be paid-forward and shared,” he says of the song.
