Uplifting and kind of sad at the same time, this song imagines a conversation about a relationship going exclusive (or not).

"“Ode to a Conversation Stuck in Your Throat” came out of a slow night in the studio with my friend Gabe Goodman. We had been in a secret boyband that broke up in 2017, and it was our first time really writing together since things ended. I programmed some drums, and Gabe put most of the music together – we were just getting into a flow when a friend invited us to dinner with one of our musical heroes. We looked at each other and said “should we go? do we stop now?” “No, no, no we stay,” we decided. So we kept writing and had a spiked seltzer or two. There was a lot of traffic and by the time we got to the restaurant, our hero had left.
I came back to the studio the next day and moved a few things around and wrote most of the words. I was seeing someone at the time who I really liked, and we had both been walking up to the line of asking the other to be with each other and no one else. Finally, we were sitting together one day and it got all quiet and she goes, “I’ve had this stuck in my throat all day…” And that was the start of our togetherness."

Note: We finished up the production in LA with Mike Adubato
