PartyNextDoor, who hasn't released a studio album in nearly four years, says he's been distracted by his love life. He explained how relationships have derailed his output during a new cover story for Billboard. The interview comes as he prepares for the long-awaited release of his fourth album.
“I get into relationships and then music becomes second. I think I’m going to take a break from relationships, a long break, and just get back to making music,” he said. Of his focus on music, he explained he wasn't treating his last two albums correctly. “I was still handling that shit like demos," he remarked. "[I wasn’t] using everything I learned as a producer, as a writer, as an engineer.”

Later in the interview, Party explained that he deals with social anxiety before concerts. “I have so much anxiety before a show, but I always tell my manager, ‘This is what I want to do for the rest of my life.’ I always forget that until I step on the stage,” he told the outlet. “I know Drake and people always tell me, ‘Bro, you have to come out more!’ I’m an introvert, I’m shy."
