“I'd say what I'd say, honestly what plays a massive role. I mean look, for a start, I've got a great family, I've got great friends, I've got great people around me. That goes without saying I'm lucky to have those things. Growing up in a place like Doncaster, it makes you feel a certain way and I feel good kind of being like, that if I started walking around like too fucking big for me boots, it doesn't matter how old I was, you know, like people have caught you out on that shit and eventually you realize, ‘Oh, maybe it's not too good to be such a cocky fucker all the time’ or whatever it might be.”
“So, you have these things from a young age and I suppose I still carry that forward now, you know. I know no one's gonna like call me in the street like maybe they used to when I was like 14. Like you know, whatever but it's one of those things like I just think there's something, really I hate this word it's so over used but, there's something really ‘wholesome’ about a place like Doncaster. It's something that will always play a massive, massive part in who I am and who I am as a songwriter. Wat my morals are, you know all of those things.”
“Home is a massive part of who we were but also who we are. I like all the little details in Common People as well I think it's a really clever song in that way, it’s coming from a slightly more imaginative place you're talking about showing you know, a girl at the time you're kind of introducing her, maybe she's not from a place like Doncaster and you're introducing her to you know this side of life but that was definitely something that because it was just straight from the heart so yeah relatively easy to write.”
