I love how much people still really bring that song up. I love how warmly everybody still feels toward it. It’s a really special thing, and unique, to have a song that really stands out. I have a lot of big songs, but that one, everyone seems to resonate with. It’s taken on… it’s insane to see a whole new generation discovering music of mine twenty years later. It’s pretty unbelievable. But the song is going to take a new life of its own as I turn it into a film, I’m in the process of doing that now. I have a writer and a director at the moment, and I’m producing it and assembling a team right now.

“Sk8er Boi” is a super special song to me. I wrote it about my high-school experience, sort of, like, different groups and cliques and stuff, and I was obsessed with skaters and skater boys. Everyone my entire life – it was more so the media – has brought up turning “Sk8er Boi” into a film. I’ve had so many people pitch the idea to me, and then finally I’m like, OK, it’s time. We’re gonna make a “Sk8er Boi” film, and I’m in the process right now of producing and developing. I’ve got a director and a writer, and we’re making a script right now, and it’s really exciting. And what’s cool about it is I think I’ll get to have like a lot of my friends in the music scene, like, make dope cameos and stuff, and it’s gonna be so fun. And I’m really excited to learn how to make a movie. That’s just, like, the next step for me in my career, and I’ve done, like, a little acting here and there, and you know, I’ve shot enough music videos.
