The Honest singer admitted that "I'm loved no matter what I do," but also acknowledged that he still struggles with thinking that he doesn't deserve it.

The 31-year-old Grammy-winner continued that love "made me exhausted from trying to prove I was worthy at times. Also Made me feel more entitled at times."
