Asked about the breakup, he expressed a positive outlook. "I think sometimes in life things are placed in our lives as a lesson, so you've got to take every negative experience and turn that thing into a positive," he said.

Would he write songs bout the situation? "Oh, 100 percent," he explained. "I'm somebody who cannot keep those two things separate. Like, I have to put it on paper, put it on wax, put it in my songs. I cannot separate the two. My creativity, my personality won't allow me to separate the two."
