Go make a friend with someone you never thought you would be friends with.
Just go out, introduce yourself and maybe you'll fall in love.
Maybe it will be the best day of your life.
So when we were writing this song it kind of happened based on a conversation with my co-writer
how we were both going to New York in a couple weeks.
We were talking about how some people are New York people, and some people can't live in the city.
Like, it's impossible.
Opposites attracting is just like one of those classic themes that we've seen
in some of our favorite movies and I think films definitely inspire this song as well.
When I released this song I did it in a way where I was sending my fans
postcards of movies like, 'When Harry Met Sally,' 'Romeo and Juliet,' 'Ten Things I Hate About You.'
About people that were obviously super different and they came together
and there's love and all that stuff.
I usually like, go find dessert somewhere.
Honestly, I think I've hit all the dessert spots in New York.
Most of the time it's a pizza and it's a movie, and I stay inside
and it's just having the view and knowing that New York City is outside makes me really happy.
And then other times, if I'm like, cool enough to be going to a party that night, then I go to a party.
I was on my tour bus a couple weeks ago, and the moment that I realized that this line
resonated with me so much was because my air conditioning broke in the back.
I just woke up in the middle of the night and I was like
"You say you like sleeping with the air off. I don't. I need it on."
Because I was dying and I was just like, "I really, really have never appreciated"
"air conditioning, until right now."
My favorite song to sing along to on the radio right now is probably "Feel it Still" by Portugal the Man.
Every time it comes on, that high hat, I just hear it originally from the beginning.
I love it so much.
It seems like it's such a timeless message at this point.
It's just, like, you know, you don't try to change people.
You just, you love them for who they are.
It's a 'Romeo and Juliet' reference, "star crossed lovers."
It's saying how the stars crossed right in our world.
It worked out.
Unfortunately unlike 'Romeo and Juliet,' it did work out, but not the way they hoped.
I've known kids my whole life that they will be outside.
It is 30 degrees outside and they're in basketball shorts.
I would always be so confused, because even if it was like not that cold outside,
I would still be freezing.
Kilo is a form of measurement and it just means basically, you pre-game and I don't.
Obviously at my age, at anybody's age they can relate to it. Some people do and some people don't.
That's just kind of like a part of life that we all either get into or we don't.
And I was always one of those people that just like never really cared about it.
I think I'll always sort of be that way.
But I know a lot of people that do.
And that's cool as well.
We can be so different but we still see things the same.
And we're still living the same life.
We're still living life the same.
When people first heard the song, they were like
"Well your eye color has nothing to do with how you see, so I don't get it."
Yes, it's metaphorical.
