It’s funny because I could feel myself creating a formula and sticking with it and I just told myself, ‘That’s not me, that’s not really how I am, god forbid I have developed a formula – it’s music; songwriting.’ It’s heretic, honestly, in the church of music, so I had to unwind a few tricks in order to get past it.
