The story behind the song

"Paper Hearts" comes from Tori Kelly's 2013 EP, Foreword. The song captures a feeling of delicate, perhaps fragile, love or connection, much like something made of paper. It evokes the tender and sometimes vulnerable nature of emotions when they're new or uncertain. Playing this song can feel like holding onto something precious that could easily be torn.
