#somepeopledo has been an emotional roller coaster since the moment we started writing it. It’s more vulnerable than anything we’ve ever done, which actually intimidated us when we released it. It’s rewarding to be recognized by the @RecordingAcad for putting ourselves out there. pic.twitter.com/1ftLP9PIxV
