AINT NO PANDA KEEPING ME DOWN. Just woke up on a Tuesday feeling weird as hell and smelling of bamboo but I’m back. Bear with me as I try and sort through what has happened but for now enjoy #GetawayGreen . You’ve earned it.

I don’t want this to get ugly but you are leaving me no choice @alltimelow . If I don’t start to see steps taken toward releasing the song, I’m going to remove all teeth whiteners from Rian’s possession and then he will have NOTHING. #ReleaseGetawayGreen now cowards.
