There's an ease to the music Riley Pearce makes. That's testament to how effortlessly he became a songwriter. Watching his dad in cover bands inspired him to pick up the guitar. By 17, he was busking at local farmer's markets—playing covers but sneaking in a few original folky compositions about what he saw around him or the relationships he had formed. "Even as an adult, I always feel like I’m in this constant state of figuring things out," Pearce says when speaking about his single "How Will I Know." He continues, "Big decisions and big changes in life have always been something I struggle with and we never truly know what lies ahead. As much as I struggle with it, there’s also an element of excitement in the unknown and this song and the production tries to capture that feeling. When you’re a kid you think your parents have their shit together but that illusion fades away as you grown up and realise they were probably just as clueless as you were."
