This comes after Ezra recently revealed that he called a crisis meeting with his record company last year after two of his singles flopped.
“People just didn’t want it,” Ezra said of the songs, adding there was only a crisis meeting because he “called it.”
“I don’t want to sound like the inspirational quote on the wall of a secondary school staff room, but ‘Don’t Matter Now’ failing was the best thing that could have happened to me. I realised how much I must have been taking it all for granted.”
His breakout single, ‘Budapest’ launched him to stardom in 2014, reaching number 3 in the singles charts. ‘Don’t Matter Now’, conversely, failed to trouble the top 70 last year. Ezra told The Guardian that he thought his career might be over.
“It’s one thing having one single that doesn’t work, but having two in a row is a sign of the end,” Ezra said.
The singer also asked his bosses to be “completely honest” with him about “what [was] going on.”
His bosses responded by telling him the album needed to be pushed back, with one person there reportedly telling the star the release had “no fucking momentum.”
Ezra described how he took a new approach to writing, adding: “When we were releasing ‘Paradise’, I said, out loud: ‘I’m going to give this everything I’ve got.’”
The song – the first written by Ezra entirely on his own – reached number 2 earlier this year.
