“We are all worthy of being loved” – Calum Scott
“‘At Your Worst’ was born from a feeling that sometimes it might be hard for someone to love me because of my anxieties, my time away, my self-doubt,” said Calum of the song in a statement. “But also from the realisation that we are all worthy of being loved no matter our flaws or insecurities.”
“This could be a song reassuring someone that you’ll love them no matter what,” he continued. “But it’s also song to yourself. A reminder that you should love yourself at your worst, because self-love is the most important.
“The sound on this one feels nostalgic and retro to me — kind of takes me back to my Sega Mega Drive. I’m excited to share new music with my fans and show everyone what I’ve been working on!”
