“Doesn’t Do Me Any Good” was the most frustrating [song on the album to write] I would say. It was more about the melodic changes and the structure of the song that was really challenging and took a while to really nail because we weren’t doing it all live. I feel like a lot of artists back in the day had a lot more dynamic changes because they were doing it live and they were just being a band, you know?

In the studio, obviously I’m only working with Konrad [Snyder] and Ian [Fitchuk], but we wrote that song with Daniel Tashian and it was just the four of us in that room. It was just like, “Man, this is such a mountain of a song to be on the record!”. It was, dare I say, one of the bigger vocal moments, other than “Be More”. I think it was also just extremely difficult to sing in the studio but, gosh, it really paid off. I think that’s a testament to this new record… that, as much as it is a new sound for me (and one that I love so much already as it stands), I think the vocal performances are some of my best and are unlike anything that has been out in a while; I think it’s gonna be really great!
