Steven Universe is about 3 gem aliens Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl, and a half human, half gem alien boy named Steven. Together, as the “Crystal Gems” they protect their home city, and by extension, the planet Earth from extraterrestrial threats.
Steven’s mother died giving birth to him which causes friction between Pearl, and Steven’s father Greg; the former blames him for her death. Steven invited the two of them together on a road trip so that they could potentially bond and grieve over Rose’s death. This song is Pearl’s lament and realization that Greg won Rose’s heart and her struggle to accept it and move on.
I chose this scene because I really like the show, and this song was stuck in my head while I was in the shower this morning.
