“I think I'm a little scared, but in general to age, I think it's a beautiful thing. And I actually think being like 30 plus, 40, for some reason, I don't think I'll be my happiest at like 40 or 50.

“So far, so good. Yeah, I feel like it's really fun to start off the new year with that song. It's really fun to start off the new year with music in general. But that one is really like, whoo, you know, it's like a little 80s banger and quite different from the rest of the album. I would say all the songs are quite different from the rest of the album. So I wouldn't really say like one song is speaking for. Know the song Sonically. They're all like Still pop, you know, but maybe they're cousins with each other, one song here and there, but it's quite different. It takes you on a ride, on a journey. But can't tame her, it's fun, it's energetic, it's very makes me feel confident.”

“Yeah, I think it's necessary. Also, for I think that's why I'm like a happy person. I am very honest and I think I analyze and I think a lot about my thoughts and myself and why I do certain things and the purpose of certain things. And if you're just like honest with yourself about things, then... You're living in your truth. And I think that is. The ultimate way of living and then I can know sometimes like why I'm doing certain things, but at least I know that and like I am honest with myself about it I guess I guess that's what it is. Yes.”

“Totally, and it happened to a lot of songs, like. Nobody wanted to really, really lush life. In America, they were like, which happens to be one of my biggest songs today. Never forget you wasn't that exciting. They didn't really like that one. Like, also, other songs, I remember being a little unsure of symphony. I was like, I don't know, will that pop off? Like, I don't know. And that also became one of my biggest songs. So I think it goes both ways. But when I really like something, I really like it. And I think you just got to believe in yourself and in your taste. Because if I would just do stuff that I didn't really like or do stuff that I didn't like as good as something else, then might as well have somebody else do it, I guess, at the end of the day. Because I still want to do what I think is good. I want it to be me.”

And it doesn't have to be harder than that. You don't have to overthink and analyze.”

I felt like we did it over a period of time with like a small bubble, like a group of people. That just became You just get to know each other.

And then at the end of it, you have an amazing collection of songs that you could just be like, that song, that song, that song, that song.”

“The only time you would lose is when you release stuff or do stuff that you don't really want to do, that you don't feel 100% comfortable with and something you can stand for, and then it flops. Like that's a loss, you know? But it's not even a loss if you release something that you don't even like and it becomes a success. Then it's like a win. But you never know if that's going to happen. So that's the gamble. I think just do stuff that you love.”
