A mother’s love will always beat the test of time. This was only proven even further by singer Cat Janice who is currently in hospice. 

The songwriter, who has been living with cancer, took to TikTok to share that her songs, including her latest “Dance You Outta My Head,” is her way to help support her son while struggling with sarcoma. 

To do this, the 31-year-old singer and mother transferred all the rights of her songs to her seven-year-old son Loren. She announced this through a TikTok video. “My art is all I have to leave behind and I’m leaving it behind for my son to profit on.”

@cat.janice Thank you for loving me. Im praying a miracle makes me through this but I think im being called Home. My last joy would be if you pre saved my song “Dance You Outta My Head” in my bio and streamed it because all proceeds go straight to my 7 year old boy im leaving behind. Please please share this, I need to leave this with him. If there is anything you need to know, is that the only opinion of yourself is your opinion. Love yourself and be gentle with others. I hope to make it through this but if not, to all a good night. #cancer #songwriter ♬ Dance You Outta My Head – Cat Janice
