Verified I wrote That's Not How This Works on zoom with @danandshay in April of 2020. I went through many changes musically in my life,but always kept this song in my back pocket because I knew how special it was. It was after all the song that propelled me into the next phase of my life. It was the song that healed me. With all of these feelings that I hadn't come face to face with before,I finally mustered up the courage to put a melody against them. When you listen to this song,I hope you feel what I felt when I wrote it- a sense of relief. Thank you @sabrinacarpenter for your brilliant portrayal of this character. You are so unbelievably multitalented. That's Not How This Works is out everywhere! Thank you. [2]
