Zen

About this song

Zen was written soon after COVID-19 lockdowns began in March 2020, with X Ambassadors, K.Flay and Grandson working remotely after talking about their struggles in quarantine. It was released on May 15, 2020, through Kidinakorner and Interscope Records, and its video, directed by K.Flay and Evgenia Strukova, shows each artist's quirks and anxieties from lockdown.

What it's about

The song deals with loneliness and a wish for a return to what felt normal before the pandemic, and it ends by abruptly cutting off the chorus into zen-like music. X Ambassadors' Sam Harris said it is about finding peace in chaos.
