About “sometimes”
Reflecting on the creation of ‘Sometimes’, Michael says “The song is centered around a relationship that I had with someone very close to me where I noticed, over time, that they were slowly pulling away. That relationship ended rather abruptly which made me question my worth and I think that is something we all struggle with when in that situation. But just like the seasons, relationships ebb and flow with the people you have in your life. Sometimes no matter how much you want it to work, you can't make people love you. You can't make them give you the love that you know you deserve. At the end of the day, the most important relationship we have is with ourselves, and this song is a reminder of the power we hold when we choose to love ourselves. I think there's this idea that prioritizing yourself is wrong. But it isn't selfish to protect your peace for the sake of your own mental health.”
“If you feel deeply like me, this song is for you.” - Michael
