Jason LaVeris/FilmMagicIn honor of Mother’s Day this Sunday, the family of Christina Grimmie has released a poignant new single by the late singer.
Titled “Little Girl,” the single was written by Christina as a tribute to her mother, Tina Grimmie. She began writing it at age 12, inspired by her mother’s breast cancer battle, and finished it later after moving to California.
The phrase “little girl” was used by Tina to comfort Christina when she was young. Christina uses the same phrase in the song to confront her mother.
“I am proud to share this extremely personal song with other mothers and daughters as well as Christina’s fans,” Tina says in a statement. “It is very special to me and carries a part of not only Christina but our unique bond. I miss her daily and I take comfort in knowing that this song might help other mothers and daughters through their fearful or tough times.”
A portion of the proceeds from the song will go to the Christina Grimmie Foundation to help families affected by gun violence and breast cancer.
Christina, a former contestant on The Voice, was gunned down by an obsessed fan in 2016 at the age of 22.
