Nicky Youre tells Songwriter Universe magazine that writing "Sunroof" was easy."When I tried writing 'Sunroof,' it just flew out of me. I remember saying, 'I got my head out the sunroof,' and I was like, 'Oh, that's so cool. I don't know where this came from, but I've gotta keep it.' And I think with all my best songs that I've written so far, I've kind of pulled them out of thin air. That's how a lot of my friends in the industry describe it—like there's always songs above us, like, floating. Sometimes you pull out a really good one and sometimes you pull out a really [crummy] one. That's just how it is, and I guess I got lucky with a good one that day."

It takes your kids getting sick to be like, 'Okay, none of this matters. I wanna see my kids grow up. That's what I want.' I want to only put truth into the world. I want to only be authentic. And I want to be kinder and a better person. I just started making music and speaking in melody. And it came together.

But I'm happier when I'm making things more often."

I don't think we should have to pay our son's grandmother to watch him. She feels different. My husband is staying silent because he's a mama's boy. Should grandparents be paid to watch children?
