On these songs, Paris Jackson said that she is "so proud" of them, as she recorded them in her father's honour.
"I'm so proud of this double single. I'm so proud of my coming into my own as a producer and coming into my own as a songwriter and also saying f**k the rules, we're not gonna have a chorus, we're not gonna have a bridge," Paris said in a teaser of the interview.
"The first one's gonna be the letter, and the kind of spoken word, and the second one is gonna be some verses and a chorus with a weird instrumental thing at the end".
She also went onto say that the songs also share an insight into her relationship with her father.
