Four days until Atlantis! I'll be sharing some of my stories about the song this week leading up to the release on Friday!! All of the incredible artwork was made by Revolving Style
So here's how Atlantis came about. I was working with Book, one of my producers, one day at his studio in Los Angeles. He started this beat that sounded like it was underwater. I imagined fish swimming through a deserted underwater city. Very triggering sonics, Book! I wrote the melody and then as Book and I started fitting the melody into the track, I wrote some rough lyrics. Honestly, we didn't have very high expectations of the song that day. About a month later, Book brought it up in a session we were doing with Spencer, my other producer. He wanted to work on it because he believed in it, and once Spencer and Book added some elements to the track and I tweaked some lyrics, the song came alive! After that it stood out to everyone as a favorite and I'm so excited for it to be the first song we share with you all!
Only three days until #Atlantis 😻😻😻 I can't wait!! More fabulous artwork by @rstheory!

I wrote Atlantis frankly, about feeling numb after heartbreak because that’s what I was feeling that day we wrote it. Atlantis is a beautiful city that disappeared and was forgotten underwater. That is what it feels like to me to lose a first love. In the story, a remnant of that love is still haunting me even though it is "asleep with the fishes."
