20 Questions With Luke5SOS: Why the 5 Seconds of Summer Leader ‘Needed To Make’ His Solo Debut
I don’t know when it was an album, because I was apprehensive and tinkering up until the final hour. It was gonna be exactly how I wrote it in my head. I knew I wanted to do a body of work when I had a couple of songs like “Mum” and “Saigon” and “Comedown” and “Place In Me.” Songs like that –– even “Starting Line” –– are exactly the type of emotion I wanted to provoke for myself and for other people to listen to.
A lot of those skills are sort of like second nature. Then, on this album, they’re always there as thoughts in my understanding of how to make a song and I’ve been writing for so long, but this one was very much exploring. There were no preconceived notions. Even at the start, it wasn’t like, “I’m going to do a solo album, let's write the songs.” I just wrote for fun. Let’s see what happens, and then it snowballs into this huge thing.
That fell into every aspect of it, even doing this. It’s my name behind this interview, it’s not the band. It’s a scary thing –– doing videos on my own, doing photoshoots –– they’re all part of a thing that is very much outside of the safe space that I am used to. I think I put myself under a lot of pressure, anyway, so me taking on this and it being just me has put more pressure and more scrutiny. On a personal level, it almost felt like I needed to make this.
With the band, when we make albums we think about the live space pretty heavily. With this, there’s no thought of that. I’m not going to play any shows for the foreseeable future. I don’t know if it fully played into the writing style. At the time, there was no big management company, there was no label, there’s no live shows. “Is this even gonna come out? Am I gonna be able to make a full album?” Everything else besides writing the songs, including the live aspect, was not thought about.
