So, one of my close friends, Rex Kudo, he’s a producer. He was with me in Toronto with his friends, Carlton [McDowell], and all them. They were making production for me and stuff. So I put my iPhone down on the piano recording and I played the chords on the piano in that song. And then, [my manager] Cash was on Rex to tell me like, “Yo, get vulnerable. Tell NAV to get vulnerable”. And then, I went and started recording and, like, Rex was like, “Nah, like more.” Like more vulnerable. I’m nervous and kind of scared, and then, it just started like that, you know? It’s crazy how much traction that song is getting, compared to the other songs [on Demons Protected by Angels], ‘cause people like that moment. […] I mean, there’s been times like where I’m very decorated on the outside and I look really cool on the outside, but, you know, going through like real shit. And when I said, “I put myself through hell” to “get to where I’m goin’,” it’s like, just that self-doubt of being hard on yourself, you know? Always kicking your own asshole. […] I think sometimes, a lot of times, we tend to focus on the hate more than the love. On a regular day, on an average day, I’m, you know, embracing more of the love than the hate.
