“I never thought at 46 I’d still be doing this… I thought I’d be a dad—maybe not both!” he remarked.
He also revealed the controversial tale behind the album’s title: “‘Cause we have a song called ‘Love Is Like.’ But the name of the song was controversial, so we had to like change it, and then we couldn’t…you’ll understand why when we release the song…it’s actually the song with Lil Wayne.”
“I’m really excited to have gone back to writing songs the way we used to—the real meat and potatoes being me and the band,” he added of returning to his roots with the group.
Adam also spoke about “Priceless” with BLACKPINK‘s Lisa, saying, “This song needed Lisa. I don’t even want to play it without her—her part became essential.”
As far as tour life these days, Adam says: “I’m more of a 6 PM dinner, 7 AM wake-up guy now. Can we start concerts earlier? I’m all about that dad life.”
He even revealed how he used ChatGPT recently to attempt to help with their tour.
