He subtly reveals that he wasn’t the only one coping with drug abuse - his mom had a problem with oxycodone, We’re secretly out of control, nobody knows itīut my mom’s got a problem with oxy’s and she’s angry Listen: “Morning in America” – Jon BellionĪs the song progresses, the listener learns more and more about what Bellion was coping with through high school. 1600, 1600, 1600 on the SATs Said they gettin’, said they gettin’ Said they gettin’ me an SUV Just a couple miles from the lights of the city Pour a little liquor in my Starbucks Venti Just 11, just 11 when they said I had the ADD I’ve been trying to keep up With all of these great expectations So I keep on faking With lyrics such as, “1600, 1600, 1600 on the SATs/Said they gettin’, said they gettin’/Said they gettin’ me an SUV” is a reference to the average score of the SATs at the time he was a senior in high school, and since Bellion was a poor student with a 1.3 GPA, his parents promised he would receive a car if he could at least get an average score on the SATs… and the rest of the introductory verse, “Pour a little liquor in my Starbucks Venti/Just 11, just 11, when they said I had the ADD” alludes to the drug abuse that will be referenced throughout the song, and a reason why we keep jumping back and forth from topics, even though they all relate to his high school experiences. One song that specifically sticks out is the 11th track, “ Morning in America,” where Long Island native Bellion speaks about his personal experience in high school.
Jon Bellion’s Twitter bio is just his website, and his location is simply “Beautiful Mind.” Usually this would be pretty ballsy and a little overwhelming, but Bellion has the proof to back it up, as evidenced in his second and most recent album The Human Condition (released June 2016 via Capitol Records).
