Speaking live on 麻豆社 WM Introducing, James said:

"All my songs are about friends. Or if they're about me, I say they're about my friends. You've got to do that haven't you?"

James spoke passionately about the pros and cons of pursuing a career as a solo artist, given the common perception that it isn't as glamorous as being part of a band. He said:

"I think in some ways people might feel a little embarrassed to go and see a singer-songwriter. But I do think that some people think they can have a more personal relationship with me if they come to a gig. I don't mind that!"
