"I dedicate this songbook of love to all of you, the listeners. As you hear my voice, you hear my heart."

The album is described in the a press release as "a powerful, inclusive musical message of love and togetherness", adding that "with its songs of happiness, appreciation and joy, it wholeheartedly acknowledges that we are in this all together".

Thank You is one of 13 songs in the new album, which will be released in autumn this year. Ross co-wrote the songs with songwriters and producers such as Jack Antonoff, Jimmy Napes and Spike Stent.
