He encourages his colleague artists to follow their own path. That’s where they’ll each find true greatness.

Her good vibes got me thinking I’ll be a damn fool if I lose her so, in my quest to prove I want more than just her body, I’ll like us to settle down. And that’s what brought about the song.”
