00:00Entra to me means a new beginning.
00:02At that time that I made it, I was going through like a really, really rough patch in life
00:07and I kind of made it as like a, like I'm done.
00:16A buddy of mine sent the beat and I was like, I'm gonna go try to record to it.
00:19And I made Entra in like 30 minutes.
00:21It was gonna be a throwaway low key.
00:23And then I posted it on TikTok and everybody loved it.
00:26And then I was like, wait, okay, that's a banger.
00:28I gotta drop it.
00:47This is like the first song I've ever released that I think is like a love song.
00:52I'm sober now, but whenever I met Lily, which is my girlfriend, whenever I met her, I was
00:56uh, 18 still, you know, in my addiction and all that.
01:01And uh, it's kind of pretty much talking about the love that you have with the person you
01:05have it with is not gonna last forever.
01:19I went on my first ever like solo tour, my Midwest tour and my son was one and a half
01:26months old
01:27and it was just, it was hard being away from each other.
01:30I was on an ankle monitor too.
01:32So it was like, I hadn't left the house in I think 18 months and we created like an insane
01:36bond through that I feel like.
01:37And then I just left the whole time.
01:39She's like, I hate this.
01:40I don't want you to be gone.
01:41All that.
01:42And I'm like, I know.
02:05In a lot of my music, I talk about death, early death.
02:08A lot of people in my family died very, very young.
02:11So it's, I've always just kind of had this feeling that like, hey, I'm not gonna be here
02:14for long.
02:16And like I said a hundred times, we were just going through a hardship.
02:18I thought it was over and I'm like, gotta come home.
02:20I made that song to kind of like, I'd say like show the love.
02:24Like I love you.
02:25My girl's reaction to it, whenever I showed her it, I don't even think I told her at first
02:29that it was about her.
02:30I think I just played it in the car and like, she was like, oh, I like this one.
02:33I'm like, huh, coincidence.
02:34Like, yeah, yeah.
02:38Performing it is amazing because it's, it's my biggest song.
02:41So like even the people that I'm on tour right now with Pouya, shout out Pouya.
02:44Even the people that don't know me, they know that song.
02:48So it's like every time the crowds go insane.
02:50I love it.
