About the song, Crista Ru said;
“‘Heavy’ is about being addicted to something or someone that you know is bad for you… I had an experience where I fell so hard for this girl while in a long distance relationship with someone that I really loved. It was the first time in my life where I was having a legit battle between logic and desire. I didn’t want to screw up a relationship that I knew was healthy just for something that was purely sexual. But it drove me crazy because I wanted to be around this girl and we tried to keep it platonic but she would always put me back in the same predicament every time we hung out. It was ridiculous, we couldn’t be just friends, so we stopped hanging and I had to just keep the fantasy tucked away in the back of my mind.”- source : Consequence of Sound
