It’s the perfect summer
song. One thing I really like
about it is the fact that it’s
catchy, but the lyrics hold a
deeper meaning. It’s a nice
catchy way to say “mind
your own business and let
me be happy.”

Yes! Actually, somebody
once made a snarky
comment about how to live
my life and how to do my
career. They told me I
should write about more
meaningful things. So I went

Working with Gazzo on the

producer and one of my
close friends out in
California.
Was filming on the beach in
your mind from the gecko?
What is it about the sea that
fascinates you so much?
Surely! And everything. It’s a
huge part of my life. I
wouldn’t be who/where I am
without it.

It’s like hanging out with a
friend but being productive
at the same time! We had
our first session last
summer, and since then
we’ve just been creating
hilarious memories and
great music.
