But for my new single, I wanted to do something different. I wanted to challenge myself, push myself out of my comfort zone and explore a new genre that I had never tried before: pop. Pop music is fun, upbeat, and catchy. It makes you want to dance and sing along. I love 90’s pop culture like Friends or Nirvana, and the style and attitude of people who grew up in that generation, so I wanted to reflect that in the song! It’s a way of showing people a different side of me, one that is more playful, adventurous, and optimistic. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it!”- Michael Moloney
