- I wasn't gonna upload it.
When I say I put my computer downstairs
and I put the title of the project.
I was like, "Do not touch."
My brother ended up finding it, and ironically,
and he's like, "Why's there no verses on this?
Like what are you doing, get on this.
This is gonna go viral, I promise you."
And I'm like, "Really?"
Like, I was kind of recording it.
Like I didn't have no expectations for,
I was like, "You think so?"
He was like, "Yeah, I know so, this is sick.
Like put it up."
I just made that video with me under the chandelier.
I woke up the next day and I had like 200,000 views
and I was like, "Wow."
"Wait for me" for you guys that don't know
is like a continuation of "Stay With Me".
So one day I was like,
"Okay, I wanna make a conclusion to this song."
Like I wanna kinda make it a story.
"Stay With Me" and "Wait For Me"
has two different meanings to me, at least.
So I'm like, "Ah", when I was sitting down,
I came back from work.
I was like, "Man, I haven't been dropping music."
I hadn't had a song like 'Stay With Me' in a while."
So, let me try and make a conclusion to it."
So, on YouTube looking for beats.
And I was like, "Wow, this is hard."
And I was sick.
I had a congested nose.
I was just singing.
And I played the beat in my headphones
and I was on Logic Pro, I'm at home.
And then the chorus comes and I was just trying to see like
how similar it was to "Stay With Me",
(artist humming)
'Cause like "Talking to the Moon" is the same thing,
it has the same like, type of flow to it.
I don't know what happened,
but I closed my eyes and I just say,
♪ Away from me ♪
And I was like, "Wow."
This is my favorite lyric right here.
I relate to it a lot.
There's a lot of times where I went through experiences
where the other person was tempted
and I'm over here doing what I can for you.
And you're over here getting tempted by everything else?
I just, it shows your loyalty.
It shows where your love is at, where your heart is at.
I went through like heartbreak myself.
I was in a two and a half year relationship.
This was actually one of the topics
that a girl I was with, she was tempted by a lot of things,
tempted by society, tempted by all these other people
that didn't matter in those moments.
That's just the most important thing.
Like don't let nothing get in the way of what you love.
Well, everyone needs space.
I feel like space away from their partner,
space away from like, just everything.
Sometimes you just gotta be with yourself.
I feel like in my personal experience,
I wasn't with myself a lot.
I was always with this person 24/7 nonstop.
It's like, "I love your company, but I don't want it all."
I want just the parts of you that matters,
the parts of you I need.
There's people that are for you
and there's people that are not for you.
And you'll figure that out through each experience
that you have with a person.
So it all lies down to the reassurance aspect of it.
Even me, everyone goes through it.
You need reassurance and you see things
that you may overthink and you may stop and be like,
"Oh, I don't like this" or "I don't like this."
And it falls back on either one of you guys.
and it takes one of you guys to sit there and say,
"Just take my hand."
"We'll be fine."
"'Cause I am yours and you are mine."
We all make mistakes.
I lost some trust from this person.
It wasn't anything intentional.
Like it was kind of unintentional.
Maybe I'd make a simple mistake
or I would do things too many times,
maybe repetitiveness.
Same thing with the other person.
It was kinda like a mix of both things.
And I'm just like, "Baby, just trust me again."
"I mean, just trust me."
Even with her, it's in the perspective of her as well,
like she told me too, "Just trust me again."
For you to understand "Wait for me",
you gotta understand "Stay with me".
People walk in and out your life and they tell you things
that you wanna hear and they tell you things that,
"Oh like, I love you", and this and this and that.
In the forth.
And they stay with you.
And sometimes those people can lose connection
and lose feelings, and they'll still
stay with you, you know what I mean?
They'll still stay with you.
And then "Wait For Me", it's like no matter what.
No matter what happens, I will always be staying here
and waiting for you.
I'm not staying with you because
if you go and travel across the country, am I with you?
I'm waiting for you.
Wait for me, no matter what.
The one thing that was so key to this was the lyrics.
A lot of people can relate to that.
The relatability in music, I feel like, is very strong.
A lot of teenagers and their heartbreak,
a lot of teenagers can relate to that part
"Wait For Me" and it's generalized.
It's not directed to a boy or a girl.
It strikes to anybody that's going through stuff.
As kids kind of caught on to that, the teenagers,
they started making their little way...
There's a lot of stuff.
There's glow up videos.
Then there's like pictures that they use to self-love.
I feel like this revolved around self-love
and when someone doesn't wanna wait for you
and wait for your time and don't wanna fight for your time,
then it's not worth it.
