On Twitter, Cian opened up further about the personal and emotional meaning behind the song. Taking to Instagram, Cian payed tribute to his late friend Phil and wrote: 'Part of Me is out now. What is 'I'll Be Waiting' about?Ĭian has described 'Part of Me' as one of the hardest songs to write, sharing that it was written after the death of a friend in 2019. ' I shouldn't have promised that I'd never fall / But you saw the writing all over the walls / I try not to cry in the places we'd go to / But I still f- care for you'. In the bridge of the song, Cian admits to still caring about his ex as he reminisces over places they'd go to together and gets emotional:

' And I should have called / And I should have tried / And I should have walked you home every night / And should have kissed you ten thousand times / Just to tell you I love you / I should have done it all / All for you, baby / But now I'm just a little too late / To be what you needed / But I hope that he is.'

The chorus ends by Cian singing of his hopes that his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend does all of the things that he realises that he should have done in order to make her happy.

In the chorus, Cian can be heard to sing about the things he wished he'd have done in the relationship, but now realises he is too late to act on.

The emotional track is about heartbreak, as the lyrics reminisce over the regrets of a past relationship after seeing them move on with someone else. Cian's track 'All For You' proved to be popular on TikTok and was released both as a solo track and a duet with Ella Henderson.
