How was this song born: with an image, a phrase, a melody\u2026 or something else?
<\/strong>\u201cGrin\u201d came from a place where I honestly didn\u2019t feel like I belonged, or that I was good enough to be at the level I\u2019m at. I\u2019d walk into sessions or shows and feel like everyone else knew something I didn\u2019t, like I was just waiting to be exposed as a fraud. That\u2019s the heart of my imposter syndrome it\u2019s not that I don\u2019t care, it\u2019s that I care so much I convince myself I\u2019ll never measure up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who worked or collaborated on this song, and how did they contribute to its creation?
<\/strong>Working with Chris Coady<\/strong><\/a> really took the song to another level. He knew how to capture that push and pull, the fragile, anxious verses against a chorus that forces itself to take up space. John Anderson\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> guitar work gave it grit and this raw, almost defiant energy, his playing feels like another voice carrying the song forward. And Darren Weiss<\/strong><\/a> on drums completely nailed the heartbeat of it. The way he played really captured the frustration I was feeling, it\u2019s sharp, restless, and drives the song in a way words alone couldn\u2019t<\/p>\n\n\n\n
