About a year later I decided to tackle the verses again and came up with a first verse I really liked. I came up with the chorus first, and was struggling to write the verses so I left it alone. Sara Kays: I actually started writing future kids almost two years ago. How long did this song take to create from idea to the final product? Can you talk a little more about the recent release? “Future Kids” talks about how it’s become harder for you growing up to envision a family in your future because you worry your kids will have to go through the same struggles you have. After the first day of shooting, I started feeling more comfortable, and it ended up being a fun time. I knew I would probably have to start giving that control away some eventually, so I had a moment with myself where I was just like…I guess this is happening and I need to make the best of it. I was so used to filming myself for all of my video content, and it was difficult to give that control away to someone else. Sara Kays: I think that’s a beautiful way to put it. Have you ever thought that being as vulnerable as you are, makes you stronger than you think? From an outside perspective, it’s beautiful to see someone tackle those fears and create art that will resonate with even more people.

It really took on a life of its own and it’s been an important song for your career so far.
