a few fun facts: - daniel wrote "be myself" after jack had come out to the band about his anxiety (so he wrote it for jack) - turns out they were planning on giving "love song" to 5sos but good thing they kept it for themselves - the lyric in "I'll be okay" is how they got the name for the album - the laugh at the beginning of "look at me" is actually the joker - the boys said that it was their first time putting out a song anywhere remotely close to "look at me" so they decided to go all out edit: holy crap when did I get 1.8k likes?!?! thanks I guess lol
Fun fact Daniel wrote Be Myself for Jack because jack opened up about having really bad anxiety. And when Jack heard the lyrics for the first time he cried.
He hit it against a plate and the beat was used for a random rap song they made when they realized the beat was too good so they trashed the rap and wrote Look At Me.
“For You” & “Love Song” are songs that be perfect for party nights. “I’ll Be Okay” has Summer/chill vibes. “Look at Me” is the hot song. “Stay” is really great, also has a bit club vibes. The melody of “Be Myself” somehow gives me Hawaii vibes, that’s a fantastic, emotional song. And especially “Grey” is just beautiful & definitely very emotional. I’m so in love with this album and so proud of these guys who made this masterpiece!🤍
@Ava Telep he might’ve but on the CD cover pamphlet thingy it only mentioned them four them four, Daniel, Jonah, Corbyn, and Jack all wrote “Look at me”😳😳
Funny you mentioned that Love song has a 5sos feel to it, because they actually said that after they wrote it, they first wanted to give it to them but then ended up keeping it.
Fun facts: Khalid gave Daniel the idea to add the "ohohohoh" after "it goes like thiiiiis" in Love Song. The band recorded Grey with an 18 piece orchestra at the Capitol Records building. Skrillex gave them some tips on For You. ruclips.net/video/8GruWnjDSXc/видео.html
his face during the instruments leading out of grey is literally how i was the whole time, i just stared straight into nothing and was dying internally
I like that they were so open about taking inspiration from post malone and it’s so easy to see where they did, but they did it in such an amazing way that’s also strangely unique whilst still managing to sound like post malone. Like, I really love the fact they did that and made it their own to suit the song
@@alexandrazhou9552 can’t be as bad as me I had 2 very very important finals on the night the album came out stayed up and one of the two was guitar so I was frick and I just listened to the album that morning and got motivated and got a 100/100 which yesss I’m glad but I had 20 at one point so ye....that was during the release of fallin’
FINALLYYYYY!!!! Mainly here for the reaction to “Look At Me” 😂🥵🔥 Fun fact: the kick in “Look At Me” is Daniel hitting a chicken thigh on a plate lmaooo
Hii! Actually Daniel wrote Be Myself for Jack and his anxiety which really got worse especially due to covid and not being able to see his daughter (yes I know, it's weird but that baby has a little girl!) When Jack listened to Be Myself he didn't know it was for him and cried thanking Daniel for writing it and then he said "Hey man I wrote it for you, it talk about you." I said it because I think it's very important to the story of the song, at least in my opinion, and knowing how much they love and support all of them always makes me cry hahahahah. Love the reaction
15:09 The way I literally SCREAMED when he said the Bruno Mars thing. Thought I was crazy when I just kept thinking about how ✨Bruno Mars✨ this song feels. My head was screaming when I was your man after every second of the song. Looove it.
9:38 it almost has a 5 Seconds of Summer vibe dude, the skills of being a producer. They were initially going to pitch this song to 5SOS so there's no doubt my jaw dropped when he mentioned and referenced 5SOS
just an fyi, they wrote everything and produced everything all by themselves :) edit: oop- i just got to the point in the video where u said that u learned that
When I heard "now every day it rains" in Grey, I immediately thought of Bruno Mars's "It Will Rain," because he sings "if you walk away, every day it will rain." So when you mentioned When I Was Your Man, I was able to recognize the pattern you mentioned with the fourths & now I have the perfect trio of songs to cry my heart out to. I listened to It Will Rain and then Grey right after and it almost sounds like a response, where they take responsibility & understand what went wrong, but it still rains (I cry either way when listening to these two).
when daniel wrote love song, they actually thought about giving it to 5SOS or that it would be perfect for them! but then decided to keep it for themselves :))
i love that you give your most genuine reactions and the faces you make definitely show how much you love this album. im sure the boys will be super happy that you loved it! best album of 2021
i was sleeping when you dropped this BUT OMG I WAS WAITINGGG this is my favourite album their voice changed A LOt and the fact that they wrote and produced the whole thing by themselves is just mind blowing to me it’s a beautiful album 🥺
So first time when I heard the album the song that right away stand out to me was "for you" and I was not surprised because it was produced by Skrillex. You can really hear and feel the difference between that song and every other song because it has that DJ type of vibe. I didn't expected that from that song. By the way love every song off of this album, truly amazing.

The fact that he got so excited about the claps in slow down... that's a real limelight right there
everyone who’s reacted to grey said the same thing they thought “Beggin’, Beggin’, please” was bacon
