Brett Young is a self-described hopeless romantic, so it’s no wonder he likes Valentine’s Day, although he has a caveat. Brett says, “The thing I like about Valentine’s Day is that you’re celebrating love and I think that that’s awesome. The thing I don’t like is I feel like a lot of the things that are done or said on Valentine’s Day are things that should be done and said year round and they’re too easily forgotten. So I always celebrate it but I do think that people should remind themselves on a day like Valentine’s Day that everything that they’re doing and saying are things that they should remember and do and say on a regular basis.”
Although Brett is a fan of Valentine’s Day, the “Mercy” singer admits, “I’ve literally never had a good one.” He thinks it’s because like New Year’s Eve, he puts so much pressure on the holiday and builds his expectations up so high that inevitably he is disappointed.
Brett Young – Valentine’s Day :40
“I like the idea of Valentine’s Day. I’ve literally never had a good one. I think a lot of people have that story. Before one of the songs every night I tell a story about how I think that holidays like Valentine’s Day or New Year’s, where you put a lot of pressure on the holiday, you’ve immediately set yourself up to be disappointed. The thing I like about Valentine’s Day is that you’re celebrating love and I think that that’s awesome. The thing I don’t like is I feel like a lot of the things that are done or said on Valentine’s Day are things that should be done and said year round and they’re too easily forgotten. So I always celebrate it but I do think that people should remind themselves on a day like Valentine’s Day that everything that they’re doing and saying are things that they should remember and do and say on a regular basis.”
