In an essay written and shared by
Refinery29, Platten explained her inspiration and empowering message behind the single: "What I've learned in life is this: even in the hardest of times, there is light. 'Broken Glass' is my rallying cry of release, healing, excitement, hope, and joy. It's a celebration of the power of women - of our unity, strength, and fierceness, and of just how freaking awesome we are. We are badass on our own, but we're unstoppable when we come together."
