It’s after I write the song where I have to start thinking about how I can reach people with it. How much do you think about how a song will be received on TikTok as you write it? Not really at all while I’m writing the song. At what point did you realize “Remember That Night?” was going to be huge? Probably when friends and family started telling me they heard my song playing at the store or on the radio pretty often. Some of my favorite artists at the time were Alec Benjamin, Jake Bugg, Mayday Parade, and Twenty One Pilots. I wasn’t really trying to accomplish any sound at the beginning-I was more-so focusing on just trying to write good songs. Why did you choose an acoustic singer-songwriter direction? Who did you listen to growing up? I think this sound is just what I naturally gravitated toward when I first started writing. I can usually tell when something isn’t great before getting too far into it, but there’s definitely still times where I write something and come back to it the next day just to realize it wasn’t as good as I thought it was in the moment. We’ve been working together since my first release! Are you one of those writers who scraps a bunch of songs, or do people eventually hear most everything? It’s 50/50. Who’s this producer? My producer is Steven Martinez. It was scary at first to be so vulnerable in my songs, but hearing from people who relate to what I’m saying has encouraged me to continue being real.ĭuring our photoshoot, I mentioned how much I like “When You Look At Me.” You said something about how it helps to work with the same producer who understands you. Why did you decide to discuss something so personal? Body image is something I struggle a lot with, and I’ve written about it a few times by now. The lyrics address the struggles you have with body image.

I wrote math stripped down on my acoustic guitar, as I usually do, but i definitely felt it would be more of an up-tempo, full band sound when we recorded it. Tell me about the making of “Math.” This song really has a full band sound. We met up with Kays before her headlining show at the famed Troubadour in Los Angeles. Her lyrics are specific and clever, two things often missing from the hook-heavy songs that blow up on TikTok. Like Sufjan Stevens and Joni Mitchell, Kays leaves listeners feeling like they just read a short story. From the quiet melancholy of "When You Look at Me" to the vulnerability of her latest, "Math," the Indiana native has proven to be a skilled songwriter and a master at capturing the feeling of a moment. In 2021, Sara Kays landed a viral hit with "Remember That Night." Although that track gained her new fans as it pushed past 200 million streams, it was just a hint of what was to come.
