The Bandana crooner explained that most heartbreaks happen not because of others, but because people often ignore warning signs. According to him, many people are responsible for their own heartbreaks by choosing to stay in relationships that their instincts already flagged as risky.
“90 per cent of the time, if you have your heart broken, look inward—you definitely had something to do with it,” he said. “There were signs, but sometimes the heart wants what it wants.”
Fireboy described heartbreak as a deeply painful experience and emphasized that it’s something he’s intentionally staying away from as he continues to focus on his career and personal well-being.
