Will has spoken about the difficulty he has found in releasing music and facing the judgment of listeners.

Despite being in the music business for two decades, the singer told The Guardian that although he loves performing, he “doesn’t love” the industry side of operations, saying that “after all this time I still don’t know if it works for me.”
He continued: “But I don’t like the vulnerability of writing songs, releasing them and the result being judged. I never have. Even if they prove successful.”
Young said that he still had a fair amount of unreleased music in his back pocket: “I’ve already got two albums that I’m sitting on. One is totally ’80s, and the other is psychedelic folk. I can’t make a choice. It’s debilitating.”
He added that he had thought about when he plans to retire from music.
“However lucky I’ve been with that side of my career,” he explained, “I don’t think I’ll ever have masses of confidence in myself as a pop star. I’d like to stop the music by 50, to be honest.”
