Mercy really happened by contrived coincidence, I like to call it.
I had signed a big record deal.
I was an indie artist at that point.
I had a bunch of songs that were beautiful.
But when I signed to Universal Music, I knew I had to play the game.
I knew that I was allowed to exploit my pop sensibility.
And that's exactly what I did.
And the record was finished, Rockfury was finished, and I met a guy who lived on the
same street as me.
He was moving out of a house that I was moving into.
And I told him I was a singer, and he said he was a producer, songwriter.
And I went down to his studio, literally when Rockfury was finished, and we wrote Mercy.
Just like that.
And Stepping Stone in about six weeks.
And I remember going into my management company very nervous, because this was away from the
direction in which they had developed me in.
And I knew exactly what I was doing.
And I didn't really give them much choice.
And I handed them these two songs and said, you know, I think we should add this to the record.
And so I definitely put a spin on myself.
But I did know what I was doing.
And it was very naughty.
Because it changed, it moved the goalposts.

I'm so sorry for [Dm] [C] [G]
you.
