Stalkers and fans and like how crazy people can go, like the lengths people go to be noticed
by anyone.
You obviously realize that these guys have actually never met this person face to face.
You still don’t know.
You still don’t think that maybe they’ve got an online relationship maybe they just
facetime every day.
They could still be in a relationship but little did they know.
On the day that I wrote it, I wrote it with this guy called Jay Angel and M-Phazes my producer.
I took some of my experiences of me going to lengths to be noticed by someone that I
liked and took things that also happened to me.
I could kind of feel that almost that people were going to lengths to meet me or be noticed
by me.
I found that kind of a strange feeling, so I thought I’d put myself in that sort of
place like in those shoes and see if I could write it from my perspective.
I kind of wanted to open the song a little bit cheesy like pretty corny.
So you think it’s just going to be a normal love song about a dude and how he thinks this
girl looks good in her dress and you know, wants to take her to a restaurant.
Just corny stuff.
I feel like this kind of line explains how I’m looking at this person’s instagram
and they’re having the best time in Rome.
And I’m like I wish I could have that kind of life.
I wish I could be spending my time with you there.
The reason why we shot the music video in Paris was because we thought it would be a
cool idea to you know, shoot a video so dark in a city that’s you know known for love
and beauty and romance.
And this is just not that at all.
That line is kind of the first hint of desperation I think you hear in the whole song.
You kind of feel like okay, I’m a little bit more into this person than you would think
like it’s not fair that I can’t be with you.
It’s not fair that you can have this life and I can’t be spending it with you.
Like it’s a little creepy I think.
When I’m lying in bed at 3am, I’m either playing angry birds.
I’m bringing that back.
I’m gonna try and complete that game, by the end of this year and hopefully get sponsored
by angry birds.
Wish me luck.
Or I’m just looking at like stand up comedy.
Like that’s all I really do.
I kind of shut instagram off at like 11pm and then kind of just go into the depths of
YouTube comedy.
I really love Hannibal Burris, he’s probably my favorite comedian.
I just think he’s got such a unique way of telling stand up.
Just like super disintersted.
Well I feel like that’s the whole thing about fandom is it’s just really respecting
and loving someone that you’ve never even met.
I’ve got plenty of idols that I’ve never met before and probably will never meet.
So yeah it’s defintley very relatable to the topic.
I feel like only like four people have ever have met this dude, but Frank Ocean.
He’s just so amazing, I feel like he’s one of the best artists of this generation.
I don’t know, I just feel like I’m never ever going to meet him.
It’s thoughts of kind of negative, like you’re wondering why she isn’t replying
to your texts or anything.
I kind of picture someone commenting on this person’s instagram post and they haven’t
liked or seen it yet.
They like just keep commenting like, “have I done something wrong?
Is it something I said?”
Or like in the DMs.
They’re probably posting things with their boyfriend or something and you’re like it’s
killing me that you’re talking to these other guys and not me.
I feel like, a lot of people have experienced it where you’re texting someone and they
don’t reply for like 10 minutes and you’re kind of like oh they’re off their phone.
And you see that they’re active and you’re like you’re texting someone else right now.
It has always been a weird feeling knowing that people you know respect me and want to
meet me that I don’t know.
Then when I do like meet and greets and stuff like that it’s always crazy because like
sometimes they just shout facts about me to me and I’m kind of like “okay, tell me
more about yourself” like you know, you kind of want to make it mutual.
But you know, it’s hard sometimes.
There’s been a lot of fans where I remember them just because they’re always the front
row of this city or they’re always first in line at this meet and greet.
I feel like those people that you kind of get to know are always the most chill.
Like if you actually have a normal conversation it makes it way more mutual and it’s easier
to talk to them.
It doesn’t feel like there’s a barrier anymore.
I guess some advice is pretty much don’t do anything that I do in the music video for
this song.
Because that’s taking it way too far and i hope that video didn’t give you guys any
ideas.
