Background and release

On the interview of Beats1 hosted by Zane Lowe, the singer revealed, "I wrote “In the Dark” after a Grammy party last year (2017)… so basically the song was kinda like me making an observation on the outside looking in about somebody that I met. It was like a famous guy and I was just noticing how a lot of the time it’s this facade. People that are celebrities, they kinda can’t turn it off, like it’s always a performance, it’s this mirage. I was just kinda like I don’t really wanna fall in love with a name or just because you’re famous. I wanna get to know the real person, the human stuff, the twisted stuff… that’s what makes people interesting. I was just kinda like perfection is boring, so that’s basically what that song is about, me wanting to know the real person, not the famous person."[2]
