Tell me about the new song! Is there a story behind it?



I wrote in 2015, and it's basically the first song I wrote about a girl in the first relationship I had with a girl. I had broken up with my boyfriend and I'd been in this relationship with this girl and it's just me declaring my love for this girl. Just screaming, "My girl, my girl!" twenty times in the chorus and sort of just owning it because I struggled a long time accepting it, and there was so much shit going on with this girl, there was just so much drama. It's about when things have kind of settled and I'm like Fuck yeah, this is my girl. And you will be my girl. I don't know, I love this girl.

It reminds me of Rick Springfield's "Jessie's Girl" or something, but I would much rather hear this gay version.



I haven't even heard that shit!

Is this song gonna be apart of Chapter 2? Is there going to be a Chapter 2?



There's gonna be a Chapter 2, this isn't really apart of it. Because I love fall, fall has such a big sentimental meaning for me because of this relationship, and I'm releasing two songs on Wednesday, "We Fell in Love In October," and "Forget Her" which is basically about the same girl, so a double-sided EP. I was actually going to release it in October but because I'm doing it all my own, I procrastinate a lot, so it's coming out a bit later.

Do you know yet what Chapter 2 will be about?



I'm working on it right now and I feel like I want it to be a body of work and not just some songs that are collected. I'm not sure if I want to have a storyline; I'm still working on getting ideas. Right now there's not much to say other than hopefully it's not going to be bad.

Were you ever nervous at all to write or release songs about girls or were you totally comfortable and ready to do it?



I've been comfortable with my sexuality for a couple of years now, I know I couldn't see myself writing in a different way. I couldn't write it in a straight way or anything like that. It's the most natural thing for me to just write about girls so I've never really been nervous to put songs out like that cause I'm really open about it. And also, I didn't know anyone was going to listen. So I was like, Yeah I don't have anything to lose. I didn't really know that that many people was going to listen to it. Maybe it would've been different if I knew.

You'd probably be nervous?



Yeah, because right now I'm kind of nervous. Not because of myself, but it's such a big...this thing has been snowballing and changing so fast so it's kind of weird that when I'm writing a song now I know that somebody is going to listen to it. Because a year ago I could write a song and no one wouldn't listen to it.

I think it's a normal thing because I've spoken to several music friends who put out music and did well, and now they're like, Holy fuck, I don't think I can write music anymore. That's kind of how I feel, but I'm like OK, if this goes bad I'm going to continue writing and hopefully the next song after that goes better. So it's just not thinking it's the end of the world if a song doesn't do as well.
