ANDREW JANNAKOS: RELEASING NEW EP GONE TOO SOON JUNE 4 (AUDIO)
Andrew Jannakos: “Somebody Loves You” was actually written the day after “Gone Too Soon,” same writers retreat. Jason Afable, Kyle Clark and Sam Koon, another good buddy of mine from Georgia. And we had this idea of, you know, there’s always that one friend in the group that has a crush on the girl or the guy or vice versa, whichever way you know, and you know, he’s there for her, she’s there for him. And they watch each other go through all of these relationships and they’re like, sitting here going like he’s not the right one or she’s not the right one. I’m telling you, like, I know how this is gonna end we’ve done this 100 times, yet. They really just want you to notice like, I’m sitting like, I’ve been here for years. You just haven’t noticed it yet. And like I’m, I’m the one. So it was once we got on the concept of it, it was it was pretty cool. And once we ran with it, we ended up with “Somebody Loves You.”
