I loved. It ended. I had regret. I wrote a song. #Chainsaw

He also said in an interview,
“Collaborating with [director] Luke Monaghan was really special as this is an incredibly personal song and the performance in the video had to represent that….“Also, getting to work with my close friend Sara Sampaio was amazing. Not only is she gorgeous, but her acting skills were definitely on display in her performance.”
The song will appear on his upcoming album Last Year Was Complicated, which is due out June 10th.
