I wrote 'Truth Is' with Julia Michaels during our first time working together. The song is about emotions we often think of but are afraid to voice - the feelings we try to convince ourselves we don't actually feel.
This quote highlights the universal struggle with emotional honesty. Many people hide their true feelings out of fear or vulnerability, creating a disconnect between internal experiences and external expression. Writing a song about these concealed emotions demonstrates a courageous acknowledgment of vulnerability, which can resonate deeply with others. It encourages openness and self-awareness, reminding us that confronting our unspoken feelings is a vital step toward genuine connection and personal growth.
