“America’s Got Talent” Season 12 standout Angelica Hale went into Tuesday night’s episode wanting to perform with more confidence, and it appears to have paid off.

The 10-year-old singer impressed the NBC variety series’ judges and audience by closing out the show with a rendition of David Guetta and Usher’s 2011 hit “Without You.”

“I feel absolutely relieved because, before the show, I tried to be more confident, and I think it worked,” Hale told TheWrap. “Throughout the song, I gained my confidence. I’m very happy with the performance, and I think I did really well.”

Hale explained that this particular song has an emotional connection for her, in light of the recent change in her family.

“I really like that song because it has a great message to it, and it also has a fantastic message to America, because [it says], ‘I can’t win, I can’t reign without you.’ I’m also dedicating this to my baby sister because she was born two weeks ago. She’s very close to me, and I love her so much.”
