In a twitter video, Luke revealed how the idea of “Castaway” started:
The tune actually came when I was peeing in the toilet and I...
[Intro: All]
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 1: Luke, All]
Young love, close the chapter
There's no ever after
Fell fast, ended faster, yeah (Oh-oh)
Late night conversations
Led to complications
Now, my heart is in my hands (Oh-oh)
[Pre-Chorus: Luke]
'Cause you walked out and left me stranded
Nothing left but picture frames
And I just keep on asking myself
[Chorus: All]
How'd we drift so far away
From where we left off yesterday?
I'm lonely like a castaway-ay (Oh-oh)
Heartbreak that I can't escape
A sinking ship I'll never save
I'm lonely like a castaway-ay (Oh-oh)
[Verse 2: Michael, Michael & Luke, All]
All your screamin' whispers
Slip right through my fingers
But these memories linger on (Oh-oh)
Eyes closed, all I see is
Good times disappearin'
And I'm trying to hold on (Oh-oh)
[Pre-Chorus: Michael & Luke]
'Cause you walked out and left me stranded
Nothing left but picture frames
I just keep on askin' myself
[Chorus: All, Luke]
How'd we drift so far away
From where we left off yesterday?
I'm lonely like a castaway-ay (Oh-oh)
Heartbreak that I can't escape (I can't escape)
A sinking ship I'll never save (I'll never save)
I'm lonely like a castaway-ay (Oh-oh)
[Post-Chorus: All]
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Castaway
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Castaway
[Breakdown: Luke]
How'd we drift so far away
From where we left off yesterday?
I'm lonely like a castaway
[Chorus: All, Luke]
How'd we drift so far away (So far away)
From where we left off yesterday? (Yesterday)
I'm lonely like a castaway-ay (Oh-oh)
Heartbreak that I can't escape (I can't escape)
A sinking ship I'll never save
I'm lonely like a castaway-ay (Oh-oh)
[Post-Chorus: All, Luke]
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Castaway)
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Castaway
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Castaway)
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Castaway

BAshton drove the ship on how to make this a rock song. The label thought it had potential to be a single. I brought the Monsters and Strangers [producers] over, and it became that song.
The day we tracked that song, I’ve got a neighbor th...
