"All I can say is that it came from pure love, for what I do and for the people that listen," he said in an Instagram post celebrating the career-defining album. "This is a story of my life, our lives, and of love and life in general; it carries thoughts and emotions that I've accumulated, felt, observed, bottled up, and dealt with through the last 19 years of my life. This project was created in my dorm, made by three college kids with big dreams and bigger hearts." Deacon has channeled Witherspoon and Phillippe with some acting, which has dad Ryan feeling "so proud." Most famously, he appeared in season three of Netflix's Never Have I Ever. However, music remains his first and most unshakeable love.
