Speaking of their musical inspirations, Luke said he’s always found U2’s music "powerful and moving."
"In some cases, we don’t write music like them, but some of the concepts, the reason why they write music is kind of like we’re all trying to do. So, I think there’s artists that go before you a few years that it’s easy to move on from and forget the bedrock from where we’re standing on, which is what they’ve done with music."

Scott said she remembered sitting behind Bonnie Raitt at the first Grammys that Lady A attended. She reminisced about being "too terrified to tap her on the shoulder and say ‘hi.’"
She added, "It’s just inspiring to be in these spaces with these incredible talents and for her specifically. One of my favorite songs in the world is a Bonnie Raitt song, so to be able to have that moment was just really over the top."
