Lewis menulis lagu Before You Go berdasarkan kisah nyata dalam hidupnya. Lewis menyebutkan bahwa Before You Go dibuat berdasarkan cerita kematian tantenya.
Saat Lewis berusia sekira 5 atau 6 tahun, tantenya memutuskan untuk mengakhiri hidupnya. Hal ini membuat ibunda Lewis terpuruk dan mulai menyalahkan dirinya lantaran tidak sadar adiknya menderita hingga mengakhiri hidupnya.
“Lagu ini datang dari tempat….ini tentang bunuh diri. Tapi bukan tindakannya, lebih ke perasaan orang-orang setelah itu (bunuh diri) terjadi, akibat dari keputusan itu,” kata Lewis dalam Apple Music’s Beats 1 Radio.
