"Home" is undoubtedly one of the most unique tracks on Madeon's debut album, Adventure -- but it was also one of the most difficult to write in some ways.

"I have this habit, this kind of tradition I do once a year, which is to lock myself in my studio and spend 24 hours straight making music -- making three, brand-new original songs," Madeon told MTV News. "I felt very much like giving up. Very, very uninspired. And I decided to write a song about, basically, not doing it anymore, which ended up being a song I quite liked."

The musician recorded the track in barebones fashion -- deciding to keep it on the record as-is, rather than enlisting any outside singers or polishing it up. At shows, he said, he also performs it as such -- a moment of simplicity among all the pageantry and noise.

"It's quite nerve-wracking but also quite exciting to do," he said. "To be able to communicate emotions so directly with people is something that's been quite new, but quite interesting for me."
