Tori Kelly was rushed to the hospital after she collapsed last Sunday night, July 23. Her EP, Tori, was released on July 28, only a few days after the hospitalization. One of the tracks in the EP, called Alive if I Die, has particularly caught the attention of fans, given its eerie timing in the midst of the singer's health scare.
On July 23, the Grammy award-winning artist complained about rushed heart beats and discomfort while she was dining with her friends, as reported by TMZ. She was subsequently admitted to the ICU of the Cedars-Sinai hospital, where doctors discovered blood clots in her lungs and other vital organs.
According to TMZ, she was in a "really serious" condition and is currently recovering in the ICU.
Exploring the lyrics of Tori Kelly's Alive If I Die song
Alive If I Die garnered particular attention given the word "die" in the title and Kelly's current battle in the ICU.
The song's lyrics, however, describe a different story. The tone of the song is more about eternal love and devotion towards a loved one. A bond which can last many lifetimes. Some of the lines in the song go as follows:
"Put your body on mine/So I can fall asleep on your chest/In this life and the next."
The lyrics at the start of the song are also euphoric and romantic, yet has a morbid undertone:
"You might be the death of me. But it might be like ecstasy."
The change in theme of the album was something that Tori Kelly discussed in an interview with Hollywood Life in 2022.
"I'm going into this next chapter ready to have fun again! I'm ready to talk about love," she said.
The song, coupled with Tori Kelly's health scare, has prompted several netizens to react to it on social media:
Some fans also commented under Tori's Instagram post promoting the release of the EP:

Ever since Kelly's new EP dropped on July 28, fans have been showering praises on the singer.
On Wednesday, Kelly's husband André Murillo also posted a statement on his Instagram story, announcing that "Tori is smiling again and feeling stronger."
