Before ‘Lost Boy,’ I was singing, doing six-second covers on Vine, working part-time and in school, but music was always my true love. Ruth B Read Quote
Even to be flown out to New York was mind boggling for me, and signing with Columbia was great because they really understood my vision. Of all the labels that I met, they were the ones that really seemed to understand that I was really about the music, the writing, and the lyrics, so it was really fulfilling to sign with them.

I came up with, ‘I am a lost boy from Neverland, usually hanging out with Peter Pan’ and recorded that simple line on my phone. I watched it back and thought it was kinda cheesy, and I was actually going to delete it. But I thought ‘Whatever, it’s catchy.’ Ruth B Read Quote
I went down to my keyboard and was playing random chords, and the one line I kept repeating was, ‘I’m a lost boy from Neverland.’ I decided to post it to Vine, and it got the biggest reaction I’d ever gotten. People wanted to hear more, and I had to explain it wasn’t a song. Ruth B Read Quote
I think ‘Lost Boy’ is more of a metaphor for oneself. When I listen to that song, I don’t picture someone else. I kind of wrote it from a very honest place. Ruth B Read Quote
