Referencing a moment in recent history where misguided “love” resulted in heartbreak, the track taps into vulnerability and frustrations with perfect impact.
Reflecting on the inspiration behind “COOLAID”, he shares, “The song came out of a time in my life where I’d been shelved by a label, feeling frustrated with the whole situation. Although the concept initially stemmed from that experience, the song now serves as a reminder and warning of how a relationship built on sacrificing your well-being for the approval of others can lead to disaster.”
