About Heartstopper
Heartstopper spends a lot of time in rooms I’m not sure whether to leave. Someone can feel right beside me, and I’ll still be thinking about the door. Other times, I mistake that uneasiness for the thing I came looking for.
I don’t want to explain away every hesitation in these songs. There are moments of closeness, nights spent driving, things I’d like to say to someone who isn’t there. By I.O.U., I’m trying to make a promise I can actually keep.
