She was sitting at the table in the studio with her notebook when the members of Tripsitter were riffing, and one hook stuck in her brain, and began to tell a story. \u201cThe musical phrase they were playing just seemed to suggest, \u2018I will not be coming back,\u2019 so I ran from there,\u201d she says. It became the title for her 2026 release, \u201d\u2018<strong>I Will Not Be Coming Back.<\/strong>\u201d Her songwriting process for this specific piece was deeply visual. When talking about the process of penning the song, she describes a path on the side of a mountain, one too narrow to turn around or falter. The track captures the feeling of a stage of life of forward momentum, where it\u2019s impossible to return to the source\u2014but the result reads more as resolute than despairing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"848\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heartlinker.nl\/wp-content\/2026\/03\/Ann-Wilson-MARCH-APR-2026_DIGITAL-dragged-5.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heartlinker.nl\/wp-content\/2026\/03\/Ann-Wilson-MARCH-APR-2026_DIGITAL-dragged-5.jpg.webp 848w, https:\/\/www.heartlinker.nl\/wp-content\/2026\/03\/Ann-Wilson-MARCH-APR-2026_DIGITAL-dragged-5.jpg-248x300.webp 248w, https:\/\/www.heartlinker.nl\/wp-content\/2026\/03\/Ann-Wilson-MARCH-APR-2026_DIGITAL-dragged-5.jpg-768x927.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American Songwriter: More recently, a song fell out of the sky and landed with her.
