Any song I have to work on longer than a day, I just leave it. It's not gonna work. Everything that's good is really instant. ↗

Anytime I write something that's trying to be too smart, it doesn't work. ↗

Because they're my stories, they're my version of events of the past three years.But I really hope people can hear their own stories within the songs and they can become our version of events. ↗

'Clown' was written when I couldn't find anyone who believed in me as an artist. Maybe those labels will think twice next time a young songwriter comes along. ↗

I tried to bang down a lot of doors but Virgin were the only label who believed in what I was doing. I ended up with the label that understood what I was trying to do. ↗

I want to speak for people that may not feel like they're being spoken for at the moment. And I want to make a connection between the world around us and the charts. ↗

I wanted to make an album that melodically people can connect to; something that reflects our times and the kinds of difficulties we face. ↗

I'm not too bothered about what category my music goes in and there's no point in limiting in who you can reach, but I want it to be respected. ↗
