The song lyrics start, “You thought you were there to guide me. You were only in my way. You’re wrong if you think that I’ll be just like you (Just like you). You thought you were there to guide me. You were only in my way. You’re wrong if you think that I’ll be just like you.”

The song lyrics come after Evans posted another video on TikTok that referenced her mother a few days before. In that video, Evans announced that she has had revelations about how difficult her childhood was and how she has been repeating patterns she learned but wants to break.
Evans has been taking parenting classes for the fifth time. According to InTouch Weekly, Evans has been dealing with an “ongoing custody battle over Jace, 14, following several runaway attempts.”
In that video, she said, “So it’s really late, and I’m sitting here thinking, reminiscing on some stuff and, you know what I just realized that the way I was acting out as a child and a teenager goes to show the chaotic household I grew up in.”
Evans continued:
If I never grew up in such a chaotic household, I would not have learned those behaviors and even have done half of them. And it’s like no wonder I acted that way. I learned it, and I thought it was normal. And I’m looking back on, and the pattern is still happening. I am so sick of protecting her piece, and I am so sick of protecting her character because her character is not the way it perceives to be.
In October, Evans also wrote about her mom on Instagram, saying in part, “Please, i need all the prayers and support as possible for my family and my husband. I talk to Detectives everyday about this situation and the media has it wrong. I need my son’s mental health protected so please im begging the media PLEASE STOP, your information is false and i will prove it very soon.”
