The artist releases his single, Beautiful, from the album, Relapse.
One of the only reasons that I put that track on there is that I feel like it’s the best song out of that batch that I did when I wasn’t sober. At the time I felt like, ‘This is it for me.’ I wrote the first verse and a half in rehab, and when I came out, I finished it. It was the only song that marks that period without bringing me back to that place. Every other track not only didn’t fit with the album, but when I listened to it, it would bring up bad memories.

In that song I relapse in a rehab facility or something like it. I just black out and f–king kill everybody.

I wanted to paint a picture for the listener, to make them feel like they are in the story and part of it as each line progresses.
