The Sea is the upcoming second studio album by English singer-songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae. According to Rae, some of the songs carry personal themes, mainly related to the death of her husband, Jason Rae. "Are You Here" is one of those songs. "I'd Do It All Again" was written two months before he died in January 2008 after the couple had had an argument, and is a testimony to the strength of her love for him.
"I felt like I was playing and composing using music to help me with all the different feelings he was feeling." Corinne said that when she began to write "Are You Here" even though it might be better that the song was not released because it is very personal and intimate.
