Smith had explained the meaning behind the title of the song and album during an appearance on BBC’s Two’s Michelle Visage’s Rule Breakers. “There’s a fighter voice in all of us, and you’ve just got to look after that,” they stated. “My album ‘Gloria,’ I’ve called it Gloria because I’ve called that voice inside me Gloria, it’s like a voice in my head that just says, ‘You can do it.’ And kids have just got to access that voice and feed it.”
