Reuters recently spoke with Beyoncé about her upcoming lead role in the Clint Eastwood remake of A Star Is Born, as well as the birth of her new Diane Warren-penned ballad, “I Was Here”. About the latter, Beyoncé revealed:
I got a call from Diane and she played the song on guitar over the phone, and I said, “Oh my god, I have to have this song.” It was inspired by September 11. It’s the tenth anniversary and I thought, “Wow, this really completes my album.”
