In May, during an appearance on the podcast, The Allison Hagendorf Show, the host asked what's it's like to work and create alongside your father.
'Writing with my dad has been so much fun,' Landon revealed, before joking how it sometime feels like It's 'bring your son to work day.'
He continued, 'When we're working together I love hearing his ideas. When I hear him say something I wonder what that's going to sound like, but he's always right. He's always right.'
When asked if his dad sugarcoats his words, the Over You singer was quick to shoot that notion down and share how he likes it more when his dad is more direct.
'No, he'll be like, "I don't like that, which I love and which I need,' the Los Angeles native admitted.
