Payton is making his big debut.
The Georgia-born, North Carolina-raised teenage singer-songwriter and viral content creator released his debut pop single “Love Letter” back in April – and Just Jared is exclusively bringing our readers the premiere of the song’s accompanying music video.
The song, inspired by the abrupt ending of a relationship, tells Payton‘s story as he processes the feelings.
“I had a little relationship with this girl, and it didn’t go very well. Things ended, and a lot of the lyrics came from that. I put the story in the song. I was super invested in her. When the whole thing cut off abruptly, I had no closure. Luckily, I was starting to explore making music. I gave myself closure by expressing the feelings she left me with in ‘Love Letter,’” he explained of the song’s origins.
The track quickly took off in popularity from the start, racking up an impressive 1.5 million Spotify streams in just a week.
“‘Love Letter’ was a really special project to me and I’m super excited to finally be dropping this music video for it! The video brings you through the studio sessions making ‘Love Letter,’ which is really dope because you guys all get to see and re-live the day we made this special song!” Payton shares.
