The Messy Honesty of “Becky’s So Hot”
Fletcher shared the story behind the song in an interview with Zane Lowe. "I wrote "Becky’s So Hot" a couple years ago after I was creeping on my ex’s new girlfriend’s Instagram while I was in the studio. I accidentally liked a picture of her wearing a vintage t-shirt of my ex’s, one that I’ve worn before. The complexities of moving on were something I wanted to explore, and it felt more interesting to me to write something from the perspective of being in in awe of her.”

Plans have a funny way of shifting on you. A few of my friends like Fletcher’s music as well, so when tickets first went up, I purchased two with the idea that one of my friends would come with me. As time went on, excuses happened. School, work, not interested. So I sold my second ticket and prepared to fly solo for this concert (as I usually do). While I was prepared to be all by my lonesome amidst the couples, I saw that an old acquaintance of mine had scored a ticket the day before. I messaged her and boom! I had a concert buddy. The universe said one concert buddy is not enough! As luck would have it, we picked up another person in line. By the time I entered the doors of Webster Hall, I was part of a trio.
