I think any song that people connect with has to be uncomfortable at the time of writing. »

The Bad Habits singer used his 2017 ballad Perfect, which he wrote as a tribute to his now-wife Cherry Seaborn, as an example. “When I was writing Perfect, I was like, ‘This is really cheesy, Cherry is going to think I’m the cheesiest f*cking boyfriend,'” he said. And you know, when I was writing Salt Water, which is about his own suicide, and I was like, ‘Damn, I don’t want to put this out and have my parents listen to it.'”
