The 26-year-old shared the story of his fiancée who was severely injured in a car accident just before they were planning to wed.
“When I heard the story of Chris and Juliana, the words and music just flowed," Jerkins said. "Sometimes a song is more than a song and that’s really true with ‘What Are Words.’ ”
