Calvin Harris is playing hard to get.

The Scottish DJ is currently making the radio station rounds promoting his latest single "My Way," so it's only natural he's already fielded quite a few probing questions about the lyrics' meaning. And without actually mentioning ex Taylor Swift's name in any of his interviews, it's safe to say fans of either artist are listening in for even the slightest insight that Harris wrote "My Way" as a breakup ballad.

As it turns out, the inspiration for the track struck Harris long before he started dating the "Shake It Off" songstress.

Dishing to Elvis Duran on Z100, the 32-year-old revealed, "I thought of the concept years ago when I left [grocery store] Safeway. I was trying to move to London and I was working in the store in Scotland. I was trying to go down and make music for a living, but I couldn't because I didn't have any money."
