Speaking about his new work said he was learning to write without a filter.

“American heartthrob is really about dissecting jealousy and the ugliness it projects,” Blyton said. “I’ve always been a competitive person and the sorest loser. I’m sure it’s fine in small doses, but in relationships and friendships, it’s a nightmare. That’s a common theme throughout the whole project, and I’m super excited to share the stories that are more antagonistic and rooted in the things I probably shouldn’t say, but everyone thinks.”
