I really respect him for writing about something so controversial, raising awareness of the dangers of you know... stalkers. Usually music industries don't even go near that topic of fans that may potentially hurt the celebrity or invade their privacy. This guy straight up wrote a song about it which is a method that gets the most attention. Can we talk about the fact that it was filmed in the city of love as well? the irony? wow this dudes amazing
