“Impossible” was created because Shontelle felt there were no ballads in the charts at the time. Interviewed by teen magazine J-14, she stated: “I knew that there was no song out there for heartbroken people. I just wanted to put a song out that gave people hope – things may not work out the way you want them to, but you can move past it and everything is gonna be okay.”[ Shontelle also spoke of how the song showed her vulnerable side, that it’s okay to be embarrassed by a lover and move on from it.She said she wanted the song to connect with listeners who had been through a similar situation and help them draw the strength to carry on past a break up where you’re the one in the embarrassing position.
