According to the 23-year-old songwriter, the song Dear Ex is inspired by how he treated his exes and took advantage of them despite his exes being very nice and dear to him.

Ruger said: “Everything you hear on this album is like everything that has happened to me. There is this particular song called Dear Ex on my album, it’s about three relationships I was in at the same time.

“I was so cruel to these beautiful ladies, and I didn’t let them go until I wanted them to go. You know, I was just steady go and come back, and they were still waiting for me. I felt like I took advantage of it. The three of them were very dear to me.”

Currently, Ru the World is sitting in third place on the NG Apple music album charts.
