"He really just nurtured my character along the way," the singer shared. "After every therapy session I would have and the journal entries I would go through, I would share with him, and it just ended up becoming a memoir."

Johnson was very open and understanding of his wife's vision of having the world know her story on a deeper level. According to the "I Wanna Love You Forever" artist, Johnson went through every chapter and every emotion with her.
