“We have a responsibility to our fans at this point. They were obsessed with the first album and we have a responsibility to write a better album. We have to beat every song,” Dan and Shayrevealed. “We’ve always said that: ‘May the best song win’… I think we did what our fans – the Dan+Shay that they fell in love with, it’s still that.”
They added, “But we took some liberties, took some chances and did some new things and the reaction so far has just been awesome.”
The new album includes 10 tracks: “All Nighter”, “Road Trippin’”, “From The Ground Up”, “Already Ready”, “How Not To”, “Lipstick”, “Round The Clock”, “Lately”, “Sway”, and the title track, “Obsessed”.
“The Obsessed album is for our fans, and surprising them is one of our favorite things to do,” Dan shared. “We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without them, so we wanted to give them more music sooner than they could buy it in stores.”
