  • hearing “Female” for the first time on Oct. 11, one day after it was written by Ross Copperman, Shane McAnally and Nicolle Galyon
  • recording “Female” on Oct. 31
  • the importance of a song like “Female” in 2017
  • working on his upcoming 10th studio album, which will drop in 2018
  • the importance of taking his time while making new albums
  • bringing the album to life the way he hears it in his head: “audio-lize”
