I mean, it was a it was a song I wrote when I did my first writing trip in LA first time in States and I was like, what's going go?, like this is wrong.”- He continued, “It's definitely a big, whether I like it or not a big kind of theme of my character and my career. Just weird feeling like how did I get here? You know, saying it's like how am I here? I was a dollar here you know, how does l mean even exist? I mean, that was a life I kind of planned for myself that when music, the blessing of music thing and we were on came into my life, that life kind of realized it was never going to happen. So because this kind of took the place of it.”

My best mate Jack is Dad, Don Simon, he's a he's a real one, but he always has odd jobs. And it was gonna to be like a I got only fools and horses situation. It's going to be me and him out there. Painting fences, jumping ropes, whatever he says to get a quick buck. I was like that's the life.” - source : BBC Radio 1
