\n\tIn this episode of \u2018Music You Should Know,\u2019 Conan Gray talks about his new album Wishbone<\/em>, where he breaks down the spiritual meaning of his album, why he thinks it\u2019s \u201ctruly miserable,\u201d his inspiration with \u201cVodka Cranberry,\u201d why he expects fans to show up in jammies for his \u2018THE WISHBONE PAJAMA SHOW\u2019 tour, what song Olivia Rodrigo, Chappell Roan and him wish they wrote and recorded and more!<\/p>\n \n\tWhat\u2019s your favorite track off of \u2018Wishbone?\u2019 Let us know in the comments!<\/p>\n \n\tConan Gray:<\/strong> I understand why people are interested, because humans are naturally curious creatures, but I don\u2019t give a f\u2013k because they\u2019re never right. Writing the album was like my favorite part of that time. I had so much fun. I was writing lyrics, smiling ear to ear like so happy to get things off my chest, I felt immense freedom. I was literally, I literally have never had a better time writing an album, which is hilarious because the album is truly miserable. <\/p>\n \n\tI named it Wishbone<\/em> because I think relationships remind me a lot of wishbones. It\u2019s like the only wishing ritual that requires two people, but a wishbone requires two people, and they essentially make a bet against each other, and they\u2019re like, \u201cHey, I want my wish to come true. So let\u2019s do this. You might win and get your dreams come true, but I also might win, and if I win, then you get nothing.\u201d And it reminded me a lot of, I don\u2019t know, breakups and relationships, and it was a time in my life where I was very superstitious because I was going crazy. <\/p>\n \n\tIt just felt like a song that encapsulated the entire album. A lot of the feelings that I hit on the album all get, I don\u2019t know, summed up in \u201cVodka Cranberry.\u201d It felt like the right song to kind of give people a taste of what\u2019s gonna be on the whole thing. I think I have been around on Earth long enough to know that I am so entirely un-special and not unique in any way whatsoever. And I think that when it comes to things that we experience in life, we all feel the same things and even like super niche stuff, like someone wearing one specific hat over and over and over, and it\u2019s a polo cap is like, so un-unique to me. There are so many people on Earth who also wear that polo cap. So to me, I\u2019m like, I can get as specific as I want in any song because I know that I don\u2019t matter, and that I\u2019m just like everyone else.<\/p>\n
