Aaron, David, Montel and Sheldon from The Engagement join us to talk about the writing of their new single On My Own. It's a very personal song from David, who found it easier to express his coming out journey in music rather than conversation. We talk about the lifelong process of coming out, what support looks like from bandmates, and the idea of 'inviting in' rather than 'coming out'. On My Own drops in 2024.
