"Wallflower is a timeless record that we are very proud of. The track was written overnight and created over several weeks after that," Young Futura said in a statement. "We linked up with Charlie Wilder aka DJ Captain Planet who helped us add the secret sauce and brought Patrick Bailey’s guitar into it. When we wrote Wallflower, we were influenced by the era of music where people danced like crazy in the function. We love how you would hit the disco and spend all night getting down. We just wanted to bring that fun back into music! The message of the song is very important to us: the willpower to overcome your fear, inhibitions and get your back up off the wall. If this song can help get anyone out of their comfort zone or take a chance with someone or something new, we'd feel like our mission is accomplished. Being a Wallflower is part of each one of us, we just need a little push to bloom."
