Touching moments aside, the one-minute teaser also addresses Jackson’s struggles with being in the public eye since her father’s passing who died in 2009. At one point, she admits that she has always been hesitant about sharing her life with the media and her father’s fans but is finally ready to change that.

“You see a kid grow up in the public eye, you forget that I am a human,” she says. “I was against letting the world in because it wasn’t a choice. I wasn’t ready then. But I feel like I’m ready now.”
