The pediatric nurse wrote "You Taught Me What Love Is" inspired by her job on a cancer ward at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London. She said: "Obviously it's very emotionally demanding work. This song was just a way for me to process my feelings at what was a difficult time."
  • Porch released "You Taught Me What Love" as a single following her audition performance. The singing nurse donated all her proceeds to NHS Charities Together and Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity.
