![]() TS: I'm home now, but leave in two weeks. There's just going to be more touring and music to come! I'm also going on tour in May in Asia, which I'm really excited about. There might be some other music in the meantime as well, you never know with me. I'm just in LA, doing some traveling, writing, working on my album. I was on tour for a really long time, and that was incredible. To have the experience to explore different things and explore different sounds and really just share the weight of the session is so cool.ĪL: Yeah, I'm pretty much just in creative mode. "I'm so tired…" is not my current situation or my current story, so I had to dig into a couple of things: first of all, Ari's experience, second of all, my past experiences, and third of all, this hypothetical situation, "How would I feel?" I've kind of been there before, so I had to tap into all of those things and I don't know if I would have done that in a session just for me. ![]() That's a really cool and rare thing.Īt the same time, in the writing room, you just have the freedom to explore. It was really, really nice to write a song that feels equally like a Lauv song and a me song. Slightly different tone and stuff, but cut from the same cloth. That's really fun because you get to explore this new range that obviously I can't sing in, but at the same time, working with Ari, I feel like our voices are kind of cousins or something like that. One thing that was really, really fun about this was, in the past when I've written for other projects that weren't mine, it was a female artist. ![]() Are there sounds you feel like you can't necessarily explore as Troye Sivan? Troye, could you talk a bit more about why you want to get more into songwriting. I don't know if it's the healthy thing to do, but it's definitely something I do and something I can relate to. I'm really fucked up at the moment over this person," or whatever it is, and letting yourself have that indulgent moment of being in that rough spot, and working through it. Listening to music is super therapeutic for me, so it was a concept that really, really resonated with me, to the point of almost torturing yourself, like, "When I'm sad, I listen to sad music and feel sadder and then somehow better afterwards." I don't know, I wanted to just kind of write about that really vulnerable moment where you're just like, "Whoa. for me, music is something I turn to when I'm in a tough spot. That was where the emotion was coming from. So this song is sort of transitional for me where, I'm still in that realm but I'm so exhausted by that over and over. So I was sort of in this head space of, you know, I'm working on my album now, and it's lot more about other stuff. Why did you want to write this sort of anti-love song, that feels in juxtaposition with a lot of pop music?ĪL: I put out this project I Met You When I Was 18, that was all about one long relationship that I was in. It's crazy, honestly, how fast time passes. I'm so happy that it's finally out.ĪL: That's pretty much the full story. It's pretty crazy, we just looked and we wrote the song in June of last year, so it's been a good two months of finicking with it and fixing and making little tweaks and changes. Ari had basically got it 75% of the way there, we just needed to figure out the structure and nail it down. I went in and recorded my verse and then brought in one of the producers that I've worked with a lot to fix up some production stuff and figure out where the song would go. Then idea came that we would turn it into a duet, and I was super, super stoked about that. The chorus was there already and I really, really freaked out and got excited and we ended up writing the rest of the song that day.Īt that point it was still just an Ari song. Then, Ari played me the chords of "i'm so tired." because he had already started working on it. ![]() I really, really didn't want to do that so I tried to just be as chill as possible. It's very easy to become bullish in a session. sometimes when two artists get together and write, it gets a little tough because you're so used to being the artist. I was also pretty adamant that I didn't want to go in. TS: For me, I just love our music and was super, super keen to just write and see what happens. ![]()
