2014’s Handwritten which included the 7x platinum smash #1 single “Stitches,” both of which
debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart. “In My Blood” and “Lost In Japan,” the first two
tracks off the upcoming album, released to rave reviews and received critical acclaim from
outlets including Rolling Stone, Billboard, the New York Times and Variety. Both tracks have

in the U.S, Top 5 on iTunes in 50 countries, and holding the #1 and #2 spots on Spotify’s “New
Music Friday” playlist. The newly released third song off of the album, “Youth” featuring Khalid
has already reached #1 on iTunes in the US. Additional yet-to-be-released tracks on the album
include "Fallin' All In You" (co-written by Ed Sheeran), “Particular Taste” (co-written by Ryan
Tedder), and "Like To Be You” featuring Julia Michaels who co-wrote the song; the song also
features a guitar solo from John Mayer, who produced the track.
