Sam said People Watching was the last song he wrote for the album.
Around the time of Annie’s death, he says he was finishing up the album but then “wrote a load of new songs”, including the new single.
“It ended up being one of the most euphoric tracks on the album, I think,” he says.
“It made sense, it’s about Annie.”
He says the album, set to be released in full in February, is “more outward-pointing than Seventeen Going Under was,” describing it as “a collection of stories”.
“It’s about people I know and my hometown and [People Watching] felt like a great title.”
