I wrote it when I didn’t want to get out of bed. I was so fucking exhausted about not wanting to get out of bed. I turned to the side of my bed where I’ve got a notepad in case any ideas come in my sleep. And I wrote, ‘I don’t feel like feeling sad today.’ But fuck that. I don’t want to feel sad right now. And then it just fucking felt like a T-shirt. I was listening to a lot of Ramones, and went for a one-minute, two-minute punk hit, ‘Bonzo Goes to Bitburg’ vibe. I had the lyric, I had the fucking title, and it just fucking happened. Like when you listen to The Libertines or the Arctic Monkeys or Oasis and it’s all feeling first.

My manager asked me, “What can we do, that no one else does?” And the concept came to us. All over the world, I meet my fans in the streets, to feel a connection. To look into another person’s eyes and see that they’re going through the same things as me. It’s kind of become a ritual of ours. Put it this way, the f—ing police all over the world know when we’re town! So I said let’s roll some cameras, pull up a truck, no permits, no permission, tell people to meet me at a location, and have a massive water fight. Sing, scream, and feel together. Imperfect, raw, real… happy.
