David Archuleta's new song 'Crème Brûlée' showcases his newfound comfort with his identity after years of navigating his sexuality as a gay man from a devout Mormon background. Since publicly coming out in 2021, Archuleta has used his music to document his journey to self-acceptance. The singer reflects on how living authentically, particularly in his 30s, allows him to express himself fully, contrasting this with his past where he felt compelled to hide his true self due to fear of rejection from his community.
"I had made myself smaller because I was so afraid that people were going to see me for who I was. Now, I get to express myself freely and fully without reservations."
"I laughed in recognition - I knew exactly what that meant. Your 30s are the first time you live for you, especially if you came out later in life like I did."
