While the film is far from perfect - you'll have to accept a few far-fetched plot devices and some perhaps trite & overused rom-com cliches - I found it quite enjoyable. Maybe that can be chalked up to having a crush on Kate Mara (spoiler alert: she can sing, which exponentially magnifies any crush for an audiophile.)
One of the main themes is that we are all worthy of love. Yes, we all have flaws, sometimes fatal ones. We all make mistakes, sometimes major ones. But, if we're willing to look, and willing to demonstrate love to others, we might just find that there are people willing to accept our shortcomings and love us despite them. And heck, that might just be the inspiration we need to overcome some of those shortcomings and better ourselves.

Anyway, I've spoken before about the impact a soundtrack can have on a movie, which holds true for this track (and others from Jaymay) and its use in the film. I'll leave it to you to decide whether to watch the film and discern for yourself the profundity of the song's usage, but the song stands alone just fine:
Don't let fear and doubt hold you back. Don't give up on your dreams because they haven't come true just yet; don't give up on people just because they've disappointed you; don't give up on yourself even if you've screwed up colossally. Take a chance, make a move, live your life. You only get one, and it's beautiful despite the rough spots - make it more so by living to the fullest.
"what are you so afraid of?
why are you feeling scared?
what's the worst that's gonna happen?..."
