Say It To Me: We recorded the album in LA and it was our first time in the US , we had the music written for the track before we went to America but had no real lyrics or concept in mind for the song. Time was creeping up on us to record the vocals and we still didn't have lyrics or a concept so Stuart, our producer, said write a song about Hollywood and how fake it is. When we got back from the studio that night around 1am in the morning myself and Ryan sat at the table in our apartment eating flammin hot cheetos and basically wrote the song lyrics around the concept Stuart had mentioned in about 30mins .

The lyrics seemed to flow out of us and it was kinda weird cos normally lyrics take a long time to perfect but with this it all seemed to click, we just bounced lines off each other and loved the final lyrics . We took them to the studio the next day and the producers loved them too and we tracked them there and then!

Everything the models were doing in the video is what I was wrapped up in while I was addicted to meth.

I understand the images of the models may be too much for some people, but honestly, I was just trying to be real with what happened in my life and show where I was, as well as where I am at now.
