We wrote that song in an hour and a half, recorded it once. That final vocal that you hear is the vocal we had from four months before. And it sat in my drafts on my phone as a demo. And the label was like, “Yeah it’s fine, like keep writing.” Then it blew up on the internet and it’s still doing whatever it’s doing — it’s just a huge lesson of like, when you get out of your own way, when you get out of your own head and when you write for yourself, you’re really writing for everyone.
