Ashton Irwin has kept the heads of his fans in a whirlwind over the last week. He announced a solo album, released the empowering single ‘Skinny Skinny,’ and now he has announced another single.

‘Have U Found What Ur Looking For?’ will release tomorrow, September 30th. Ashton said this track is about “overcoming mental resistance and facing every fear you’ve ever had.’ We already know it’s going to be just as powerful and impactful as ‘Skinny, Skinny.’

Not only because ‘Skinny, Skinny’ gave us a taste of what we can expect, but because that’s just who Ashton is. He’s insightful, philosophical, and he has inspired his fans in more ways then he can imagine. So, in honor of Superbloom and his new solo endeavor, here are 6 ways Ashton Irwin has inspired us.
Him Being Open About His Mental Health
I am constantly at war with my mental state, but I always remember that, to be powerful, you can’t give people power over you.

Be brave and bold when saying what you are, and what you stand for.
People who suffer from mental health often feel like they are alone, which can further have a negative effect on their mental health. Having someone we look up to be open and honest about their struggles makes us have so much more respect for him and helps us feel like we have someone who understands. Something as small as that can help keep someone going.
He Always Knows Just What To Say To The Fans Who May Be Struggling
If things are going bad and life is tough, hang in there, ride it out, come out on top <3

You've got to be who you are, and not be scared… Be strong.

These tweets are just some of many that he tweets out to his fans, family, and followers regularly. He knows that some of them are struggling just as he has, and wants everyone to know that he cares and he’s always there for them no matter what.
He Motivates Fans To Be Their Best Selves And Love Who They Are
Motivating us no matter what. I'm alive because of him. I'm here because his words mattered to me. I want to be there for him like he was for me. Because @Ashton5SOS we will both come out on top. We'll both be stronger and a better person. Stay strong. I love you.❤ https://t.co/UZ56oDebRz

Ashton Irwin was a motivation for me to talk about this topic, to accept myself just how i am, and most importantly, he made me realize that the perfect body does NOT exist.

This kind of circles back around to him talking about his mental health. Ashton talking about his struggles, and allowing himself to be vulnerable, has helped others open up and try to work on themselves and start learning to love who they are. Self-love is the best love, and Ashton helps others try to accomplish that.
He Doesn’t Let His Past Define Him
Ashton has dealt with his fair share of trials and tribulations throughout his life. His incredible strength in who he is has turned him into the strong, beautiful person he is today, the person his family and friends can depend on in tough times, and a role model to so many others.
His Deeply Creative Mind
We’re not just talking about his music, but everything he creates. Every masterpiece he creates has a deep, underlying meaning. From his tattoos and song lyrics to album artwork and everything in between, he wants everything to be meaningful and have a purpose. His mind is powerful, and we are blessed to get even a small taste of it.
His Constant Hunger To Develop His Artistry
It is with a great explosion of joy and with my entire soul that I proudly announce that I am releasing my first solo record on Oct 23. #Superbloom explores my inner philosophies and feelings about the walk of life I have found myself on.

He never seems to rest when it comes to his music. Right now, with no touring going on, he could be taking a much-deserved break. But instead, he chose to write and create a very personal, powerful album for not only his fans but also for himself. This solo project was a way for him to talk about everything he’s going through and been through freely and without fail. We are unbelievably proud of him!

We have no words to express how proud of Ashton we are. His mind and heart are beautiful places, and we are so blessed to be apart of this journey in his career. Don’t forget to pre-order your copy of Superbloom. It’s going to be the album that will make others envious, and stream ‘Skinny, Skinny’ while you’re at it!
