Me and Johnny started this album June 2017 in Los Angeles, and finished it July 2021. What a journey, man. When lockdown hit we locked in together and started creating. Overpass Graffiti and Sandman came in those first few weeks, and countless others. Shivers was a pillar that the album oddly formed around. When things opened up we started working in more interesting spaces to write songs. Johnny would set up in old farms or country houses and we’d just make mad songs. Bad habits, Joker and the Queen and Be Right Now came all in a bonkers couple of weeks in Glemham Hall in Suffolk in January. We’ve had 10 years of making songs now, from Photograph to Shape of You. It’s a joy to work with you brother, thank you for guiding me on this album whenever I got lost. Thank you for pushing me, and doing 92 versions of a production just to get it right. We made something very special, and you are very special. Up the lads, youl never beat the lads
