Do you know what Joe & The Juice is?
It's like a sandwich and juice spot.
I went to the bathroom and I was peeing, and I could just hear the low-end of this song
and it just kinda had this really, really cool groove that made me want to strut.
So I Shazamed the song, don't remember what it is, took it into the studio and we used
the BPM of that song and a similar kick pattern.
It immediately started to feel really really good.
We kept going and I was writing with my best friend.
His name is Leland.
It’s about meeting someone, being really into them, but maybe you are meeting them
at the wrong time and you’re both denying the fact that you're into it and that it's
happening.
But it's happening.
There they are shining so beautifully, this crazy diamond.
You're saying, "Don't make me wait another day."
You're like, "Let's do this" kind of thing.
You're kind of coaxing them into letting this happen.
“‘Cause passion is passion and you know it just as well as me.”
It's like I can feel this and I'm pretty sure you can feel this too, so what are we waiting for?
I think love is a very scary thing.
Especially if you're not sure yet if the other person loves you back.
It's a really scary place to be in.
As exciting as it is there's a lot of vulnerability in it and for me with this song, it was a
bad time. It was a really bad time.
But, what can you do?
It's the kind of thing where like, every little touch feels like electricity or something.
The night I was picturing when we were writing this song, I remember being led through a
bar with my hand and he was pulling me.
I was just like, "Oh my God."
He never had a buzzcut.
That's purely poetic license, I think.
I didn’t do that on purpose.
It’s just a thing that happens when you’re making out with someone.
It kind of sounds bad now that I think about it.
With the bridge I think it was important for me to have a kind of more real or more vulnerable
moment, you know?
The chorus is this super anthemic big chorus and I wanted to really strip things back for
the bridge.
It's kind of like once you've got it, the convincing is done, the experience has happened
and you're with that person and just thinking, "I never want this to end."
This should be the last night ever that we have to go our separate ways at the end of
this, you know what I mean?
We should just be together.
