British singer James Arthur opens up about a heartbreaking time in his life in his new song, Emily.

While appearing as a guest on Andy Jaye's An Hour With podcast on Nov 23, the artiste revealed that his ex girlfriend, Jessica Girsts, had an ectopic pregnancy: "Sadly it didn't work out. It wasn't far, it was a couple of months and she had an ectopic pregnancy. So she lost the child, and I didn't really want to talk about it."
