Contrary to the obvious, 'Grow Up' isn't a love song to me, although..... music is totally open to the interpretation of the listener..... I wrote it about an employer I used to work for when I was 20 years old. My employer would always try to control my life. She just wanted to fix me & there was nothing wrong with me, so I quit the job. So while it was produced recently, this song was written 7 years ago. I wanted to tell her that although I understood where she was coming from, I didn't need all that fixing. I was fine the way I was. You should know that you are fine the way you are. If it takes you walking away from toxic situations to be "Your own kind of beautiful", then by all means..... walk away and reconvene when you're both grown up.
