Earlier this November, Johnson even participated in an interview with Billboard. The male singer revealed he has been busy touring and writing new content since releasing his previous album “The Guitar Song” in 2010.
Billboard also shared that “Sober” was one of the first songs released from “Midnight Gasoline” and asked Johnson about his inspiration and sobriety.
Johnson then responded that the last time he had a drink was in September 2011 and that he stopped smoking in 2015. He also added, “Nine years. During that time, it was all about sanity.”
