Q: what inspired the song ["Tongue Tied"]? -@hearmenow___
I think what inspired the song, me, 'Mello, and 'bear have been, kind of, such fans of each other's music, so we wanted to do a song together, [and] add an energy that accumulates all of us, and kind of bring rock 'n' roll back into, like, the nightclubs. It was a sick process, and it looks like everyone's loving it, so it's mad!
Q: what is your favourite lyric from the song ["Tongue Tied"]? - @softforliam
I mean, it sounds obvious to be honest, but "if you feel like you're tongue-tied, then we're tongue-tied together." 'Cause, I don't know, that line talks about, kind of, me feeling very unified right now, and the people I meet and have a lot in common with. It just makes me feel like I've got a place to be, um, and it makes me feel like, I feel good in the fact that I know that I'm not alone in the way that I feel and the way that I think.
Q: if you could only speak one language for the rest of your life what would it be? It can't be English.. - @AbiWalters9
If I could speak one language for the rest of my life, what would it be? Spanish! Because it sounds sexy!
Q: Who had the idea for the ["Tongue Tied"] music video? - @im_called_irene
We wanted to, kind of, amplify the current climate, where a lot of people feel like they, um, can't say what they want because they've been suppressed by someone else. We wanted to be a bit like Black Mirror, um, a bit like Mad Max, and just kind of make you get that fire in your belly, do you know what I mean? Like, pour gasoline all over the fire that's already inside a lot of people's bellies outside, or, out there. Um, we hope you love it, it looks like it's going crazy. Rock 'n' roll!
Q: do you have something you want this generation to clearly understand? - @eversincejdun
Do I have summat that I want this generation to clearly understand? Yeah, man. You are not alone in the way you think. You are intelligent in the way you think. You can take any opportunity that is put in front of you. You can love whoever the fuck you want to love. You can identify in any way you wanna identify. You can be yourself, and if people are gonna suppress you for who you are, then they are not meant to be in your life. Full stop.

When we were filming a scene where they get me on the ground, and they have these batons and one of the guys, like, proper hit me on the head really hard. And, um, I don't think he knew that, um, that he did it. I kind of didn't want to be a dick, so I just pretended he didn't do it. I was just like, ow, suffer in silence.

Um, as I say, I think you can always work on yourself and get better, but life's [?] start that, can you? You know what I mean? I think, just, kind of, at C or D right now, gotta fall over L, trip up over Q, and see what happens!
Q: how did you feel when filming the ["Tongue Tied"] MV? - @bludlwt
How did I feel when filming the music video? Excited and happy, but tired, because I had a show in New York [on October 14th], and then had two shoots for, like, um, live shoots, and then got on a red-eye, flew to L.A., landed, did the video, then got on another red-eye and did [The Late Late Show with] Stephen Colbert [in New York], so it was a bit of a whirlwind, but I enjoyed it very much. And it came out really cool, so I'm happy as Larry. Ahh!
Q: Would you rather be the big spoon or little spoon [while cuddling]? - @ravysmith5
Would I rather be big spoon or little spoon? Depends, man, depends on the day. If I could split the week up, 'cause I love putting my arm around someone and being big spoon, but then occasionally, I'll be like, "can you be big spoon for me?" I think. Or it depends on what you had to eat. If you've eaten [?] I wanna be little spoon.

Q: any advice for those people who feel like they don’t have a purpose in their lives ?? - @whatupvey
Any advice for people who feel like they don't have a purpose? I felt like I didn't have a purpose in my life until I found people who understood me for who I was, and then I found that I was supposed to be with them right there in that minute. And initially I wasn't looking for those people, so I think, like, you have got purpose. Every day, man. To breathe, and to love, and to fucking see the world, man. And you'll find out what you're gonna do, it'll come to you, I promise.
Q: how do u apply a lipstick just give us a tutorial - @sandpiperlii
How do I apply lipstick? I go like, "bang," I kinda outline my lips and then color it in. The coolest person I ever saw putting lipstick on was a girl on the bus. She used to just put it on her face, and she just had that attitude, like, the "I look amazing even if you don't know it yet." And it really inspired me all the time. She used to, like, just slap it on. I love messy makeup, I think it's the best. [*smudges lipstick*]
Q: what was [you, Marshmello, and blackbear's] first impressions of each other? - @G0NERVINYL
First impressions, man, we walked into the room, mello slapped me in the face, and then bear slapped me in the face. And I was like "what am I gonna do, man?" and then I just decided to kiss 'em both.
Q: WILL U PLAY TONGUE TIED AT BRIXTON? - @lovelessgiirl
Yes.
Q: I'm in a very shitty mood rn what would you suggest me to do - @wthdidiborninto
Order a Chinese takeaway, have a Harry Potter marathon and draw a scar on your head, just to be a part of it. Then play "Friday, I'm In Love" by The Cure. Eat a load of chocolate, then get a really warm bath, and run around your house naked singing "Kumbaya my Lord, Kumbaya".
Q: how excited are you to play at Brixton next Thursday ??!!🖤🖤 I’ll see ya thereeee🖤 - @groovydoods
[*screaming noise*]
Q: how did the arctic monkeys and the clash inspire you? - @latenightd3vil
How did the Arctic Monkeys and The Clash inspire me? I think just their sheer lack of giving a fuck, and the way their music made me feel: like I could be or do anything I wanted. It was really motivational as well as being in your face and fucking rock 'n' roll. Obsessed with those two bands, man, they're me favourite.
Q: I can't stop overthinking and it's killing me slowly dom, I hate this feeling and idk what to do, I also hate the feeling of being alone as well. - @iamslitthroat
I hate overthinking, I can't stop either, I've done it all my life. You hate feeling alone, but you're not alone, because if you're overthinking and I'm overthinking, then we're both overthinking together. [*screaming noise*]
Q: WHAT WAS THEIR REACTIONS WHEN U KISSED THEM? 🤣 - @Rotten_Bluberry
They did this [*shocked gasp*] "that felt good" bang! [*slapping gesture*] and slapped me again for my insolence. [*laughs*]
Conclusion
