Content

[edit]

"Don't Give Up on Me" is the theme song of 2019 romantic drama film Five Feet Apart. It is about a young man and woman living in the entanglement of illness, death and love. The lyrics speaks to the heroine's mission and echo the sentiment of her. Grammer said in an interview, "'Don't give up on me'… a very simple idea but a very powerful one. I have had many moments in my life where I wouldn't give up on someone else, where I believed in them when they didn't believe in themselves. Hell, I've had super intense moments where I wouldn't give up on myself. But the most powerful memories from my personal vantage point are when someone wouldn't give up on me. It is my sincere wish that for anyone who hears this song and is on the verge of giving up it will be another subtle nudge to keep going."[3]

The song is written in the key of C minor and has a tempo of 113 beats per minute.[4] The version with R3hab is written in the key of E♭ Major, with a tempo of 121 beats per minute.[5]
