You know like, there's a little (squeaks)
kind of sound in the end.

For this song, it was like,
for my album Forever Neverland,
I worked with a producer called ST!NT,
he's been executive producing the whole thing,
and this beat for Way Down, he had more or less
the whole thing mapped out.
And when he played it to me, I was like, I actually said,
(grunts) "so many cool sounds," I was just
I was all about it, I just thought it was the dopest.
Also because it kinda has this lo fi sound to it
the (imitates the bass) you know, bass,
and this cool flute drop that reminds me
of some remessa kind of stuff, you know.
(flute music)
And I think we were just vibing so much off,
as you say, we really wanted to, I wanted to
write a song that really could match that,
not make the beat less cool
or less big or whatever,
and I think we just wanted it to have that kind of
(grunts) "the world is fucked
but we're just going to party!" (grunts)
kind of thing, and so I should also say with the
(grunts) the whole thing, I think we were just going for a
"let's dance til we die" kind of vibe.

It was around 2016 that I
came up with the title.
Because for a long time, and again it's been
four and a half years writing this,
it took me a while to obviously figure out
what it actually was that all these songs
that had been written was about.
And I think it was around 16
when I found myself again just constantly in and out of LA
and living this life, traveling all the time
and only seeing my old best buddies so rarely.
And all about this, and at the same time,
all while all this going on, then you know,
I'm also getting older, and everybody's getting older,
and I've always had this fear of becoming an adult
of having grown up responsibilities
and have to be, you know the expectations
that I feel like there is
to become, you know when you're getting older.
I feel like you have to fit a certain mold.
And so I mean obviously that's a reference
to Forever Neverland, because referencing Neverland
where you're like young forever, and also,
but also at the same time it's also Neverland for me
is a bit like LA, I feel like I go there,
and with so many people searching,
and it's this city glorifying youth and (cheers)
and I love it, but it's also scary
to be sucked into that bubble sometimes,
and I need to get out of it and feel myself you know.

I feel like, with my voice,
I always, I do like to change it a little bit,
but it has to feel organic,
because even when I listen to No Mythologies to Follow,
I can hear that the way that I'm singing,
it's a bit softer actually,
but there's little peaks of (croons softly)
and now I'm much more (grunts aggressively)
like I have much rougher texture or something,
and it's something that I'm doing on purpose,
it's a natural development that I
have somehow chosen, subconsciously.
And I think that will probably continue to happen,
but whether I'm going to start doing more falsetto
or doing like screamo, I don't know.
But I think, because I've been, ever since
I was a little kid and I started
playing the piano and singing,
I was very, thinking a lot about my expression,
what you can actually express with your voice.
You can, through a take, have people believe
what kind of person you are with your voice.
It's not only the words or the melodies,
but even with your voice you can tell people
what kind of person you are.
So it's all about molding that into
something that fits the now for you.
