On what would have been his 21st
birthday, Bailey James dedicating her latest release, a fan
favorite called The One, to older brother Zane
Clemens Koehler. Since losing him in 2017, Bailey and her family have openly
shared their story in an effort to raise awareness of teen suicide. With
the release of the song, written by Bailey with Steve O’Brien, she brings the
unimaginable to light and finds comfort in angels.

“Sometimes a song just happens like
it was always there to begin with and you haven’t heard/sang it
forever. The One is that song,” says Bailey. “It
was written in 30 minutes. When you have that much raw pain that you
have been holding inside and you finally open up, it is heartfelt, simple and
straight to the point. Everyone at some time has lost or will lose
someone that will forever change them. That was my brother, Zane, and this
song will forever be his.”
Today, teenagers and younger kids
are no stranger to suicide. Recognizing this, Bailey is a role model to these kids.
With daily messages from fans on her social media accounts, she courageously
uses her voice to speak of her own experiences. Even before her
loss, The Jason Foundation (national organization that is dedicated to the
prevention of youth suicide) admired Bailey’s ability to eloquently address the
subject rather than treating it as taboo and made her their first National
Youth Advocate to help raise awareness.
