Let’s talk about your latest single, “When He Was Me.” What drew you to this song? “When He Was Me” is one of those songs that strikes you instantly, at least that’s how it felt to me. I heard it the first time in Joshua Gleave’s studio here in Nashville. I’d come in for a session & he was working on a few tweaks for the demo that Shay (Mooney) had put down. As he was working on it, I listened through the song & became immediately obsessed. I’m truly a sucker for a really good ballad, especially one that rips your heart out, so when I found the song MIA on the forthcoming Dan + Shay album at the time, I knew I had to ask if I could track it & much to my utmost joy, Shay said yes! What I love about “When He Was Me” that it speaks so eloquently to this profound regret we all have felt at one point or another when we looked around to find love lost. It doesn’t shy away from the games we play with ourselves & others where we do our best to keep up appearances, all the while being completely & utterly wrecked underneath.
