“Yeah I’d say I really go for it, you know in the writers room. I try to get as real as possible and stuff. And there’s only been two writes where like I cried during the write and stuff. Just because like sometimes you’re around these writers and they know how to pull things out of you that you didn’t even know were there. And then when that happens, and there’s this line that comes out that resonates with you and how you feel in your heart like it can just wreck you and like that’s what happened a couple of times where I was like, I gotta step outside real quick like get it together, get it together. You know? But yeah, I always try to make sure I tell the writers like I’m not afraid to go vulnerable like as possible and say I’m afraid of something in a song or whatever it is. Like I think it’s– I heard somebody say one time like the more honest you are the more relatable you are. So luckily like other people feel this way because it would be really awful if I sang all these songs and are like, I don’t really feel like that ever when, you know, what’s a matter with that guy? So that kind of helps and stuff and I think like the people that listen to my music, you know, expect that from me too. Like they want to know that I’m- they’ll know if I’m not singing from the heart, you know, right away.“
