He continued, “I think it just happened organically for me. I think it’s basically, really through the songwriting process, sitting down with my guitar and just having my little notebook and putting lyrics on that and just my own life experiences.” Asher admitted that “Chills” immediately connection with him because he’s “young and a teenager, and you tend to fall in love and find a special person in your life that you deeply care about.” “I think that’s the main reason most of the songs that I’m writing, or co-writing, are talking about love,” he said, referring to his girlfriend Annie. “The last time I had a girlfriend was when I was 11!

Asher also teased the arch of his character in upcoming film, saying, “In the first movie he had his super powers and has his family and he’s happy. Through most of the first movie, I played this sad and unhappy kid that just wanted to do whatever he wants. So, I feel like I’m playing a completely different character.”
