  • White explained that he considers writing about his own life “a little bit boring” and prefers to incorporate a percentage of his personal experience into songs, then morph it into another character's perspective.
  • He also mentioned that he would not put painful personal experiences 'out there for some idiot on the internet to stomp all over'.
  • Taylor Swift is widely known for her confessional songwriting, with many of her tracks believed to be inspired by her high-profile romantic relationships.
