“You don’t hear a lot of great songs about your lunch order, so the things that you don’t really understand and that hurt you are usually the things worth writing about,” he said, adding that he feels a strong “compulsion” to write music.

When asked where he planned to spend the holiday, Antonoff said: “Tonight? I’m going to the studio. That’s where I have to be.”
