Speaking on ‘Wait In Love’ via a press statement, Sultan said: “Wait in Love was one of the first songs I wrote for my record and it helped set the benchmark and tone for the rest of the writing and general approach from then on. It’s one my favourite songs and feels like I’ve known it forever. It’s about when I decided to get sober and the circumstances around it.”
“From the press coverage at the time to the love and support I received from my loved ones and especially my then girlfriend and now wife, Bron. It’s a love song to ourselves and our beautiful future together. Our first baby arrived pretty much a year later to the day. I love Wait in Love and I’m proud to have written it for us.”
