“This [The Miseducation] is in fact the most personal track I’ve written thus far in my career. It was so personal I did not invite my band to play live instrments, I played the piano and guitar myself. I wanted to zone out, so I could get the song to be as honest and raw as possible. I didn’t want them there, the song is that personal. The song originally started out as a letter I wrote to myself while on my tour bus, and suddenly turned into a song when I came up with the hook and began to play the guitar. I feel that it is important for me to reveal my abuse not really for other people but for myself, I don’t want to hold onto this for the rest of my life. And that’s why I let it go with ‘The Miseducation’. Now if I inspire others to do the same, the reward will be greater, I’ll say that. However, the song is not mainly gathered toward sexual abuse victims, but people who are tired, and who want a change, let go of the negativity, go out and find your place in the universe, find your happiness.”
