When taking on this challenge, Jake looked to the fans for inspiration.
I remember when I first got the demo, the [producers] told us this song was going to be the song where we can really connect with our fans, so when writing the lyrics I was really imagining interacting with ENGENEs and performing in front of them. When I heard that my lyrics got chosen, I was very honored.

It’s safe to say ENGENEs are loving “SHOUT OUT.”
