Jacob Sartorius Tells RAW The Story Behind His Song 'Skateboard'

Jacob Sartorius stopped by the RAW studios and opened up about his music, including the story behind his single “Skateboard.”

The 14-year-old singer teamed up with “Issues” singer Julia Michaels for the song.

“She had a demo of the song ‘Skateboard’ and it was a really dope idea. She sent it in and we listened to it. We were vibing out, and I was like ‘I gotta cut that!’” Jacob said.

“The message behind the song is basically taking your mind off whatever’s going on that’s not good and letting out all you emotions through a simple act like skateboarding. You can ride a skateboard down the block and forget what’s going on. It’s like in the line ’310 to 818,’ that’s how I feel, like you’re riding [through] different area codes all around California,” he added.
