Wallen's May arrest for public intoxication and disorderly conduct in downtown Nashville was also addressed in the album.

\"I wrote that song after I got into a little bit of trouble,\" he admitted. \"You know, we added a love interest story into the song just to make it hopefully relatable to a larger amount of people.\"

\"But it's honestly a song that I wrote to myself a couple weeks later,\" he said. \"I feel like I learned some things, and I wanted to write it to myself, like a letter almost.\"

Now, Wallen seems to see \"Dangerous\" as a beacon pointing in a better direction.

\"It just seemed like, 'What a better way to describe the album, too, as lessons I've learned and things that I wanted myself to know?'\" he reflected. \"So it felt just appropriate to entitle the whole project that.\"

You can also pick up an exclusive Target version of \"Dangerous\" that adds two more tracks to the album.
