“I wrote this song as a 23 year old who felt like they were falling behind. This particular year was rife with people I grew up with reaching conventional milestones when I hadn’t even checked off one. Marriage, babies, job security, the mortgage. It’s strange that. The expectations you put on yourself and that other people put on you before knowing for certain it’s what you want.
I couldn’t help but feel like I should hurry up and get on the same page as them. And then I really thought about it. Like staring into blank space, out of body kind of deep thought. And I realised that I’m content with where I’m at. Two years later, after a lot of love and consideration, ‘Autopilot’ is now yours. A song for anyone who isn’t where they’re supposed to be.”
