ā€œI had told him that it has been so hardā€¦ I was having a writerā€™s block for six months. I couldnā€™t write about myself then he gave me the first version of the song in a demo as my birthday gift. Recording ā€™21ā€™ was quite easy for me, I did it in one-take. I was even lying down with the mic in my hand.

ā€œā€™21ā€™ is special because it is what opened my mind to the rest of the album. With ā€™21ā€™ I started to see myself again the way I wanted to see myself.ā€
