We all know that 2020 has been extremely different, I thought I had my whole year planned out but as things changed I found myself struggling with the right words to put on paper. People who follow me know that I write all my songs from scratch, I'm a songwriter at heart. Telling stories through music is my passion, so when I'm lost for words it's really messed up. I sat down with Bella in L.A. to write this song and we were scratching out all our thoughts and feelings about quarantine. I ended up talking about how I'm always in a love / hate relationship with the songs I put out. Then suddenly the concept hit me, that's what I'm going to talk about!! This song is quite literally about how hard it is to write a song in 2020, I got to 'vent', it felt so awesome that I ended up producing this really uplifting drop that's probably my best this year. And we talk about that in the song! Total inception style - 'New Normal' is a song about itself, and from the writer's perspective it's saying "I've hated every song I've done this year except this one." I've never made a song before where the lyrics are about the song you're listening to. Sure it's weird, but it's honest!
