The music style on Seasons was also inspired by Bieber pop anthems. The album Seasons finds Billy offering feel-good pop songs designed simply as an escape from his journey’s current.
According to Billy, there are a few reasons why this album is called Seasons. In his social media post, Billy shared that his album name is come up from all the story behind on each of the tracks. He said that “there’s a good season, bad season. I mean sometimes my life is good, and sometimes going worst”. He felt like he has many seasons in his journey and he finally just want to share the story through music and hope someone will relate with his story. Seasons is deeper and more personal than his last album, though less universally relatable.
Seasons begins with cheerful song “Can’t Stop Loving You” and Its ends with “Love Can Kill You”, a unique song and it’s actually fit to be the end of the track.
On this album, he gives the 13 tracks for standard-edition, and 19 tracks for deluxe-edition. While most of the songs on Seasons are about falling in love, being wronged by love, the physical feeling associated with love or about his anxiety. So, the ultimate messages of the songs are all about life and love. Most of all, there would be more about His personal life and the most mature thing in Billy’s catalogue.
“I just try to share my personal life and people can relate to my story”. He also declared that the song on the album is about growing as an adult and being in love with himself. “What can I say, its life experiences, and knowing that you can and get back up and keep going. Hope and faith in what I believe in. There’s a lot of different emotions that I write about. So, there’s a lot of that on this album.
Seasons was considered as an album with the songs serving as “a regretful look back and a fresh start”. On this album, he tried out a new multi-single release strategy or simply he called marathon release strategy. The idea was to release multiple singles which would later lead into a new album.
