Medium Build adds an intimate touch to "Cuz of U," a track about the people, places, and experiences that make us who we are. The track is more than a reflection on home. It's a heartfelt love letter to Alaska, exploring the complicated emotions of leaving familiar surroundings behind in pursuit of bigger dreams.
Cuz of U was written with Jon Class and Abby Holliday in November 2022, inspired by conversations about hometowns, lost family, and friendships that still matter even when you're far away. The song has a relatable emotional core because of that personal base. Those of us who have left home for new opportunities understand the tension between the thrill of the future and the guilt of being away from the people who helped shape who we are.
"Cuz of U" is a thank you too. Medium Build understands that personal journeys are rarely taken in isolation and that friends, collaborators, family members, and even difficult relationships can leave indelible marks on our lives. Medium Build reminds us that chasing a dream doesn't mean leaving home. Sometimes the people and places we leave behind are essential to who we are.
