During an appearance on Joshua Citarella’s Doomscroll podcast on Tuesday, Ratty, 35, revealed his thoughts on writing songs about past relationships. "Last year I became a way more well-known public figure for loads of different reasons. The only reason that I was interested in is kind of like, what I was doing," Healy, said.
"So I think that a lot of artists, they become very interested in their lore, or they become interested in the things that have happened outside of their art that people know about, and they want to address that," he continued. "And fair enough, do you know what I mean?"
On his band's first record, he admits he was more open to writing about heartbreak and "all these stories about relationships" - but he doesn't feel the need to do that anymore.
"I would kind of just be lying if I made a record about, I don’t know, all the stuff that was said about me or my casual romantic liaisons or whatever it may be that I’ve kind of become known for, just because I was famous," he said.
"I think that that’s an obvious thing to draw from. And I’m just not interested in it. And I think like, the maintenance of the status quo is something that I always fight against," he continued. "So the idea of making a record about something that personally happened to me, that by the time I put it out is gonna be like two years old, I see people doing that as well, and it’s not interesting."
