Hannah Harper went viral after she auditioned for American Idol with an original song called “String Cheese,” which she wrote while she was dealing with postpartum depression following the birth of her third child. However, choosing to sing that song was actually a risk for the Season 24 winner.

“They told me to prepare backup because the judges don’t love to hear originals,” Hannah told TV Insider. “They want to hear something that they’re familiar with, that they’ve heard before. So I had a backup planned and never had to use it. I was really thankful.”
