''I used to do these things called Secret Sessions at my house where I would invite fans to the house and they would hear a new album that nobody had heard before, and I would basically explain the context of the songs to them before they would hear each song. And so I wanted to sort of kind of infuse a little bit of that energy into these movie theater experiences and give the fans an insight into where I was coming from when I was writing these songs, because like, that's my favorite part of the process. I cannot tell you how exciting it is for us when we're in the studio writing these songs and bouncing ideas off of each other, and when a lyric really clicks. It just is my favorite part of the process. I love getting to tell the fans kind of where I was coming from when I wrote it, but also full well knowing that it's going to go into their life and it's going to be whatever they need it to be. You know, a good song is like a mirror. Whoever looks into it sees a different thing reflecting back.''
