Jeff Rosenstock sat down with MTV to talk about his new album:
“So many people I know and people I love [are] just stressed out by everything, and I just wanted to write a song like, yeah, me too, bud, and it’s OK,” Rosenstock said. “That one was just kinda like, it’s OK to feel shitty. Everybody tells somebody that, ‘Yeah, I’m busy tonight’ when you’re not busy.”
