He added: "My mum and dad were looking after me, and kinda just making me feel whole. When I say 'whole' it was the hug I needed, but like from the house, from my mum, from being back where I grew up and yeah it allowed me to have my thinking time..."

Asked how he's coped with balancing his life and his success: "Obviously when the first record came out it was busy busy busy, but when I stopped the first record, done all the festivals, done all the gigs, I went back home and was like 'woah, this is weird'.

"But then obviously the breakup stuff happened and it was a tough time for me, but with This Is The Place and going home, I had that base of being able to actually have a proper think..."

Grennan previously said of the track: "This song is about finding a place of complete calm and escaping utter chaos and carnage. My happy place, my go-to place! Whether it’s on my own or with the person I love. The song documents the kind of journey I go on to get there, and one that I would make any time of the day to reach a serene and cleansing state of mind."
