“It was way too much and way too fast / I just needed space / And the world they built around our love / Wouldn’t let us change / I swear I gave you my best / I know you gave me all of you / I know it hurts ’cause that sh*t hurt me too,” a verse from the song goes.

“I wrote the song three years ago together with Seth Reger, an artist from LA. He really helped me tap into these emotions that I didn’t even know I was feeling at that moment,” he shared.

“For this next album I’m working on, I wanted to focus on the core of who I am as a songwriter with minimal but intentional music production. ‘Hurt Me Too’ is like a palate cleanser for me in a way that it introduces a change in sound and direction,” he further said of the track.

Meanwhile, Reid is currently in a relationship with actress-model Issa Pressman. They celebrated their first anniversary as a couple last month.
