I wrote 'enough for you' entirely by myself which I'm really proud of. I think it's probably the best song I've ever written currently. I really love, not only the honesty and vulnerability in it, but the hope. In an album full of sad breakup songs, the song feels like a light at the end of the tunnel. I promised that the feelings wouldn't be forever. The entire song is really just my voice and an acoustic guitar which I think is sick.


I was thinking about how I wrote "enough for you , "and I actually wrote it on my bedroom floor in Atlanta, looking into a mirror. like "I was on my guitar playing to myself in the mirror , which I think is really funny considering, like the theme of the song.


I just think, at the time, I was just feeling this soul crushing inferiority. And you're already that I think only occurs when you, like, are really deeply in love with someone and, you know, feeling like you aren't good enough for someone who is your absolute world is so crushing. But I really like how the song sort of starts in this really self deprecating place, and sort of becomes a little more hopeful at the end.


Every time I re-record it, I was always crying because it just sounds like the same song with different lyrics, but my family and co-writer thought the opposite.


It’s obviously very insecure and vulnerable, but I also love how it’s really hopeful. I don’t think “enough for you” necessarily has to relate to a romantic relationship. I feel inadequate in many kinds of relationships, whether that be a work relationship or a friendship. I think you can apply it to anything. Those feelings of not being enough for someone are something that we all feel so intensely.
