MNEK on working with Zara Larsson:
"There's a trust that [Zara] has with me, which is very affirming and very nice. We just vibe. I really love communicating music with her, and she's grown so much since the first time I met her, as far as what she wants and how she wants to communicate her music. I'm glad to be on the winning team, because it's fun to make music that people dig. Especially with someone like her, who isn't just hype, she's actually talented. She's here for a reason."

MNEK on on his upcoming single that explores body image:
"[It’s about] me being a bigger guy in a community that raises [up] sculpted, six-pack, white, blue-eyed [people]. [It's about] how I've navigated that, and how desirability has affected the way I navigate relationships, how I view myself, how I trust people, and my self-worth. We are more than our bodies, of course, but then that's the only way people can measure us before they get to know our heart."

MNEK on how the music industry has changed over the years:
"The ways that you receive the validation, and the lack of monoculture. [In the past] labels could control what people were listening to and who the premier artists of the time were. Now the public gets to choose. Now everyone needs to work as hard as each other to get their shit out there."
