Background


He wrote the album with the help of his boyfriend Jordan Garfield. He said, "We really got to know each other way better through writing music too because you share stories together in a whole different way and you go really deep into those stories and maybe sometimes you get to express emotions that you wouldn't normally express if it's not in writing a song." He also produced a lot of songs on the album and will direct many of his upcoming music videos. By being involved in the process of both, he believed "that he would be able to merge the two creative worlds together more seamlessly". He said, "It is a good way to not only express yourself via music but also via visuals because they go so well with each other."[2]
