Sharon admits that she can’t wait to get the chance to see Hayley perform the song on stage.
The 63-year-old star said: ‘What a pleasure it has been to work with Hayley, she is a true artist. She cares more about getting the truth of her art right than anything else.
‘I cannot wait to be there to see her sing this on stage. Maybe even more than hearing it on the radio. She is gorgeous, pure, true: the real deal.’

‘I’d never done a co-write before and had no idea what to expect or how to even go about it.
‘The second she walked into the room, all that went away. She was so warm and gracious, so absolutely unpretentious and open.’
Hayley recalled: ‘Sharon asked me, “If one song could explain you to the world, what would it be?” At first, I didn’t know. Then I realized… romance. Romance moves me.
‘Not just in that typical fall in love type of romance, but romance as a way of life…
‘A way of walking, heart all messy and exposed, into everything. With that, we began to write.’
This isn’t the only new venture for Sharon, whose first book, a memoir called The Beauty of Living Twice, comes out at the end of this month.
