Many of Colton's songs were written to speak to the youth of today to inspire them to follow their dreams and to never let bullies and haters hold them down. As with many young people today, Colton has overcome bullying as a youth himself and wants to be able to influence young teens to stand up for what they believe in and stay true to themselves.
