The song ‘I Will Always Love You’ by Dolly Parton was written and recorded in 1973. And it was released in 1974 as a single. The song was written as a farewell to Dolly’s former partner and mentor of seven years, Porter Wagoner, following Dolly's decision to leave The Porter Wagoner Show and pursue a solo career.

The song has continued to be popular through all these years, and it is great to see a younger generation have an appreciation for the song as well.

We hope that you enjoyed this audition on The Voice Kids and it was able to bring a smile to your face!
