It’s called ‘Long Way Home,’ and it is about basically like the journey of coming back to where it all started, and you know, like taking the long way to figure it out, and just the trial and error of what being an artist is, making some songs that you don’t love, making songs that you do love, but they’re not your best song. Like, it’s just really about the journey of getting back to where it all started. We, you know, tried to make it feel as Chicago as possible, and you’ll know what I mean if you were there. [On “Boston” reaching No. 3 on the Hot 100] I was like, no, it’s not. I really didn’t believe it, and I was just like, I’m not even looking. I’m not looking. But then when I saw it, and I was like, OK, this is the craziest thing that’s ever happened to me ever. And to be on there like below Taylor Swift and Ella Langley, I was just like, all right, I’m good. I can die now. I’m good.
