But on his journey of self-love and respect, he has learned to accept himself which has led him to bring more positivity and happiness to his music. He stated, "I really am past some of the dark things I’m singing about. I can get the message across more because, looking back, I really understand why I wrote these songs."

Adding to this singer hinted his fans about his upcoming album, he said, "A lot of this album for me is about self-love. When I was writing it, I had a really bad relationship with myself. I didn’t like who I saw in the mirror, and now I really kind of like myself. I enjoy my own company and I feel like I deserve to be loved back. It makes it easier to promote the album. It’s like showing people an old photo album. Sometimes you’re cringing at the bad outfits you’ve worn in the past, but you’re still looking back with love and respect."

Smith says that though there was a lot of pressure on him as he would be soon launching his second album but despite all this he has experimented a bit with his new music and though this is scary for him but he is really excited as according to Smith, the upcoming album is the true depiction of him as a person, of who he is and the happy and positive feelings that he is experiencing these days.

He said, "Even with this whole dreaded second album thing the industry makes everyone concentrate on, I’m putting out a second album that couldn’t be more me — and it couldn’t be gayer. I’m so proud of that. I’m excited to be singing songs like 'Him' in parts of the world that maybe aren’t as open in terms of sexuality. To be that raw in front of people is daunting and scary, but the high is incredible."
