Obviously, we’ve had mutual respect for each other for a minute, and I’ve been just super proud of him, because he’s such an individual. That’s kind of rare to find. Like, finding people who really stand in their own power, their own zone as a writer, producer and creator. My favorite part about him is that he’s so unafraid to be vulnerable, and to talk about those parts that are maybe not even talked about as much as a young man, as a human and as a person. So I’ve always appreciated that about him, and celebrated him for that. So I knew that if we did something together, it would definitely have a zone and have a vibe. People were asking, “Can you and Khalid do something together?” and it was already on my mind anyway. We connected, got together – and it’s actually crazy because when I reflect on it, I usually don’t write with people that I don’t know, just because it’s such an intimate space. I haven’t written with him before. And we also collaborated with Ludwig Göransson, who’s Childish Gambino’s main producer. None of us have written ever together before.But it was super amazing. It was pure energy and pure light. We found ourselves in a conversation about being over fixing yourself and changing yourself for other peoples' benefits. We happened to have that conversation, and I was talking about my personal circumstances and he was talking about his. This song was born out of that. That’s how it happened.
