hearing Daniel say that at one point he said he wanted to leave broke me so much

the boys always go so deep in these interviews and u can tell that their comfortable with Zach, it’s really amazing and it’s why i love their interviews with him, always make me smile :)

jonah giving jack the spotlight to tell his story was so cute

The way they were laughing and smiling while explaining their trauma, makes me realize how strong they are, and that they don’t want to think about the pain that they’ve been through. Love u guys

the fact that limelights have been reading all the proofs been shared but never listen to it live and from their own mouth but zach sang interview highlight it and let us know what's happening. All the stories, experience shared in the interview had been giving all the limelights know what ever is going on and we need justice for the boys fr. The boys deserve better, they have been working hard for that and we need to support them and always be there for them. This interview hits different if any of us watched it from the start from 2 years ago. These boys have been going thru a lot and not a lot of people know but zach sang have been highlighting those points that even us, nor anyone in this industry does not know whatever is going on. WDW DESERVE BETTER #FreeWDW

they were children, that's horrible and it hurts me a lot even though I did not experience it but I feel their pain and it's very sad. I love you guys 🖤

Zach sang interviews are always my favorite because they are always so comfortable with him. These boys (and Eben) truly deserve nothing but the world. I’m so proud of them on how far they have come and it hurts me what they had to go through/still going through now. Can’t wait until the day they are finally free and can do what they love. They were born for this. can’t wait to see them grow and achieve there dreams

I wish Zach would interview/re-interview all of the One Direction members at some point, including Zayn. He's great at diving deep and shedding light on what really happens behind the scenes but isn't intrusive like many hosts I've seen. His interviews are my favorite because everybody is comfortable and ultimately ends on a high note. Loved seeing the WDW boys open up about the past/present struggles they have faced. Their character throughout it all really goes to show just how good people they are and how much they care for everyone in their lives

Only Jack would make it a funny story in an awkward situation

I felt SO bad for Jonah when he said he doesn’t like to think about what happened. Our poor boys were hurt so badly. I want to hug them all. This looked like it was so hard for them to talk about.❤️

knowing they went through all of this while hiding it from their parents yet still chose to be super friendly and welcoming to every fan that they met at their shows really shows what good people they are. they had every right to be not in the mood to talk to anyone, they didn’t have to show up to meet and greets, they didn’t have to be super happy and sweet around fans because of how tired they were and how they were treated. but if you’ve met them or seen meet and greet videos then you know what sweet people they are. that shows how strong they are and how much they appreciate us by being nothing by kind and always there for us even when they were dealing with so much personal issues and pain. they literally deserve the world!! 🤍

Couldn’t stop watch Zack and Jack…. I wish they were able to talk more. It was a good interview. Wishing them all well and can’t wait for them to win the fight!

The part where Daniel said "you can edit this out if you want. I've never said this to anyone but there was a point where I said to the guys. "Guys, for the sake of my mental health. I think I need to leave" Or something. That broke me

You can see Jonah and Jack's slight grimaces in the lower pic... if they go into the shit they went through with David I'm gonna start crying

When the initial statement came out I cried for hours. I met Corbyn, Daniel and Zach at a radio show in Detroit in 2018 and we were told that Zach and Jack were extremely sick and couldn't do the meet and greet. I wonder what was actually going on. During the meet and greet, it was rushed like every radio show meet and greet and looking back I felt that something was off. I was so excited to finally meet the boys but I truly felt like they were exhausted from the tour. We all know now how much they were overworked and the trauma they endured. I feel like I should have known what was happening. I cant wait to see what the boys come out with knowing they genuinely are happy with their music and their lives.

When Jonah and Daniel said they haven’t been paid since Covid, really broke my heart. :(

I feel so bad for them but at the same time proud because instead of totally giving up, they remained strong for each other. We love you boys and we wish you all the best for your entire career.

they are the strongest people I know. Everything they went through was crazy and they still are so strong and motivated and never lost their special bond over these crazy years which is very heartwarming. I love them so much and supporting them since 2017 has been insane but I wish I knew because when I met them, I would of hugged them so much harder because they made me so happy and were going through so much :(

Salute to Zach Sang. He has the confidence of the guys that they can freely share their thoughts and feelings to him. The very reason i keep repeating watching WDW interviews here at Zach Sang show

these boys honestly deserve the world, they have done some much of everyone and I can't wait to see them be the Why Don't We they wanna be and not be told who they should be.

Yes this interview is very sad and real, but I can't stop thinking about Jonah's shoes. Only Jonah would wear shoes with gold stars on them to an interview like this. I love him so much.

the zach sang interviews are always so personal

When Daniel said he didn't know how Ed Sheeran was able to write songs about life while on the road-it's like he forgot they were just babies when they gave up a normal life and control was taken from them, of course they would have much less life to pull from!

still watching and i’m literally in tears. i couldn’t be anymore prouder of how far the boys have come and you can really see how they have the biggest hearts.

Hearing what happened to them as limelight, not knowing what happened behind the scenes really made me cry. I can’t believe this happened to them, and I’m so glad they are comfortable with Zach so that they could express everything that’s happened to them. I am heartbroken because of what they’ve been through, I hope the lawsuit is gone soon so they never have to go through anything like that again.

They really grew up on this show and I am so very proud of them

What Jonah said was true, the bond between them is real. And they proved that now, they've been by each others sides through it all, since the band started. Dealing with David, drama, break ups, hate, everything. This is really what I love about them, this is what's remarkable about them its that, they stuck with each other to continue the band, they dealt with this together, and none of them left the band, didn't choose to go on a hiatus or go solo to escape this management situations unlike other bands. They only had each other but that didn't matter they still went strong. The bond between them got stronger the more they went through this. It literally made me cry when Daniel was talking about him thinking of leaving the band. The fact that they were thinking of that while doing what they love, what they dreamed of doing is just heartbreaking on its own. And also Zach having to deal with this since 15 and Jack dealing with this shit as a father at 19. Zach and Jack look like they were bout to cry this entire time especially when Jack was talking about Gabbie and Lav. And they don't get paid like WTF is the reason of doing this to not even get paid. Also the fact that they have always kept a smile on their faces even when they're going through so much and are actually hurting inside. They always make us laugh and smile when even they don't do that behind the scenes. WDW have helped me and I'm sure lots of other Limelights through so much. They have actually saved my life. I'm glad that they have had more confidence to speak up about these kind of things and have matured ever since. But also thank you so much Randy for fighting with the boys and backing them up through this whole situation. I'm glad that they are now happy and free at least after they get out of this lawsuit

i really love how comfortable they all seem with zach. jack and zach don't talk often in interviews and it's great that they seem to be talking more and opening up about their sides of this story too.

I’m so proud of this boys, they could have left as a band! But no they are even stronger. Love y’all. ❤️❤️

I love how much more confident and well spoken Daniel has gotten, he used to be so quiet and shy in interviews and now he's running them, so proud of him

these boys went through so much trauma. so proud of how far they’ve come and how much they’ve matured. we love you why don’t we 💛

Daniel's words just broke my heart. Can't imagine how much they must have went thru for him to even think about it and give up on his dreams I hope they get what these amazing guys really deserve! ALL THE LOVE FOR YOU LIMELIGHTS ARE WITH YOU❤️

omg, i listened and i heard every word... I am so proud of why don't we for being so strong , so brave, and opening to all of us about this.

Seeing the boys grow from the last time they were on the show and now, makes me so happy!! They’ve grown so much as people, as musicians, and as friends. Couldn’t be any more proud of you guys!!! Love you so so much 💗🥰😭

the fact that the boys talk about all the trauma and everything they've been through in this interview with smiles on their faces just shows how hard they work and how strong they are. I really hope the boys know how much us limelights love them. also unrelated, but I love how Daniel is just playing with his mic chord and stuffing it into the sofa the whole time-

their interviews with zach sang are always so iconic 🤚🏼 i can’t wait 😮‍💨

Don't know how many times I shed a tear listening to their stories. They have gone through a lot as young artists that bonded them stronger today. very honest very authentic very WHY DONT WE. This is why a lot of us love them so much. Keep it Up guys. We have your back.

When Jack said that he sees things that other people don’t because he matured in that space of manipulation so now he can’t be manipulated anymore because he can see it coming, I related to that so much (I actually wrote a literary narrative about it). I feel so much for these boys and I remember a few years ago seeing them at a radio show and in concert and remembering them looking tired and I can’t imagine how this has been going on for so long and then being forced to go through it. I pray for prosperity and room for them to run as an artist as they get out of this abuse. They have all of my love ❤️.

It really is a shame such a good & genuine band in the end collapsed due to trauma. I always find myself returning back listening to their old music as well as newer music.They are very talented and its unfortunate it won't ever be the same again.

zach sang x wdw interviews are always the best interviews.

zach thank you for making them so comfortable to be able to talk about this stuff. boys, stay strong we love you! this fight isnt over and im here til the end🥺❤️

This breaks my heart, but I am PROUD of you for taking a stand. It takes a lot out of anyone to stand up again their abuser. You are so strong, and I can’t wait to see what’s next 🖤

thats something I've always loved about why don't we, the honesty they give everyone and to their fans I'm so proud of them hoping the lawsuit goes well and also we can get more music in 2021!!

been excited for this interview for days! can’t wait to see it ♡︎

This is the deepest interview I have ever seen. It almost brought me to tears. They have been through so much and they kept pushing through. I love that they are all themselves and so confident. When daniel said he questioned if his voice was good....I was upset. HIS VOICE IS SO GOOD and whoever tells him otherwise is crazy. I live that they recognize the gift that God gave them. Thanks to Why Don't We for being so real and making amazing music!

I’m so glad that they finally got the platform, time, and space to let out all their feelings and be able to tell the real raw truth about what they have been through these past years❤️ thank you zach for giving them the opportunity

I love how raw and real they are, it’s so refreshing to see authentic artists

i love how zach's interviews are always so chill and respectful he always gives them room to talk

i love how the boys can go deep in thier interviews especially with zach becuase you can tell they are comfortable and it’s amazing that they can open up to us all about things that have happened and i’m so so proud of them for getting through everything i love them so much honestly so proud

Ahh I love why don’t we, so excited for this!!

they are literally the most strong group of men i’ve ever seen. their endurance is insane i’m so sad to hear that all this happened to them, when no one even knew. i pray the abuse stops and they are able to get back to doing what they love with the strength and courage they began with. we love you wdw

This interview broke my heart to the point I had to pause it a couple of times cause it was too much. I can't believe that they had to go through this, but I hope and pray everything works out for them. I love you guys so much! #FreeWDW🤍

this interview just makes me cry every time i watch it i can't believe the boys actually saved me from myself when they were fighting their own battles

its so sad to see the shit and problems they went through and how it affected them mentally and physically , they really deserve the world and to be the happiest, they are the sweetest ever , even though after everything they have been through they are so supportive , and dealing with everything at that age when they were just 17 18 and zach was only 15 , thats so much , im so proud of how far they have come

The fact that they are still going and still very respectful and kind to EVERYONE shows how genuine and caring they are as humans

These boys deserve so fucking much. Hearing all these things hurt me. While they made me smile they were struggling. For all the things they’ve done for me, helping them as much as I can is the least I could do. These boys are so fucking special and the fact that they went through that and still are in the fight is amazing. The tablet they have is mind blowing. I’m so glad they are finally getting this out. I couldn’t be anymore proud of what there doing and how far they have come. I love them so much and I hope they know that. #FREEWDW

Zach Sang is literally one of the top best interviewers I’ve ever listened and watched, and I’ve watched a ton of interviews. Artists are comfortable/relaxed with Zach, and can say anything without hinderance of rejection. I’m so proud of Why Don’t We: they braved and survived the brutal abuse, and they’ve grown stronger and gained the confidence to stand up for themselves and what they believe in. I’m so excited for them to release their new music, and praying that God will fill they’re lives with blessings and encouragement. I’m so happy that they’re still a band and showing they’re genuine selves without fear 🎶🥂

literally one of my fave interviews of the boys, im always waiting for them

Wow. One of the best interviews....Blown away by the way these dudes were treated by that jerk of a manager, David. Thank you Why Don't We for being so real in this interview.

By everything they put out online no one could have imagined that they all when through this kinda treatment, it's sickening how you can even do that to other people. I never would have thought they went through anything close to this when I saw them all these years ago. I'm glad that they are all doing better and I just hope they soon are able to do whatever they want and win this fight!

they truly deserve the world. hearing what they've been through truly breaks my heart,can't wait for them to finally be free!

I can't describe how much I love them, and to hear about everything they've been through hurts so much. Daniel saying he considered leaving breaks me. They're the picture of perseverance and inspire me even more than before, knowing I can get through anything. The fact that they showered fans with kindness even on their worst days, even when some fans threw hate at them, just shows how strong they are and how much they love us. They've needed us just as much as we've needed them in hard times. I'm SO proud of them and excited for new music!

i love Zach sangs interviews cause theyre literally like therapy sessions but he makes sure not to make them feel uncomfortable and I think him and Dan do a great job at being respectful

I am so proud of Why Don’t We I have been a fan since 2017. From Something Different, Why Don’t We Just EP Christmas Album, Invitation , 8 letters and now LoveBack. So excited for the new era.

Zach, THANK YOU SO MUCH for this!! seriously, it's amazing being able to see a little bit of what happend behind the scenes with them, i'm so excited for what they have for us coming soon. i love you all

i’m so proud of these guys. i can’t wait to watch them find themselves in the way that they want. so much love

Y’all deserve the world, love you guys so much and so proud of how far you’ve come 💓💓💓

Can’t wait to see this incredible interview !

i been watching this interview everyday because i’m am a why don’t we and i love listening to their new album the good times and the bad ones i am so excited to listen to their new sings

i can’t wait for this 🥺 i’m so proud of you guys honestly i love you so much

i’m so incredibly proud of these guys. they’ve been through so much and it’s just hard hearing it all. i really hope this comes to an end soon. i love these guys so much and they are very strong

i’m so unbelievably proud of all 5 of these boys and i would like to say to zach, thank you for looking after them.

I have so much respect for these boys. They’re so strong and I appreciate them coming out and speaking on everything

Wow truly one of my interviews you have done Zach, I actually almost cried because I feel so bad for why don’t we . Love you and #freewdw

Literally have so much love for those boys and feel terrible for what has happened to them. I look forward for what’s to come and want them to know how strong they all are as individuals and as a band. They rock. Literally.

Can I just say i’m so so proud of you guys, honestly so so proud! I’ve been with you for over 4 years now and watching you grow over the years and growing with you! Watching you fight for your dreams, encouraging me to fight for mine. The fight is not over and you’ll get through this, you will have control! I love you so so much! I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us! 🤍🤍🤍

I love the Zach sang interviews. They’re always the best.

I always enjoy Zach's interview with the boys it's always personal and wholesome

So excited for the interview

Thank you all for being so honest and transparent about all you've been through. You guys are so talented and I love you so much! So encouraged by your strength and drive despite others treating you badly.

Hearing their story is really heartbreaking. When you look back at videos of them back in 2017 you can really tell how overworked and exhausted they were. So glad they kept fighting and are still together to this day

I love them! I love them as artists, as human and the way they are going on, I believe in them! It's not easy to share but they did so well, not today, not yesterday but since the day one! M so proud of them! It's a New Era, cheers to a new start! WHY DON'T WE, just do you, you're awesome!💛🍄

i was heading to school while this was premiering and the whole day getting back to watch this has been my top priority. and now that im back im ready. and from the comments ive read, this one’s gonna be revealing SO much thing that none of us even knew happened. cant wait to watch this. i love these boys with my whole heart

Why Don’t We is just so amazing! I am so happy to have another interview.☺️

ive been a limelight since 2017 and to hear what they been through is so sad i love them so much and i will support them no matter what happens but when daniel said he wanted to leave it broke my heart i cant see why dont we being 4 its not the same

I’m proud of you guys for coming out with your story!!! ♥️

Love these boys. 💜💙💚 Met them all in Memphis 5 years ago. They were all so nice, especially Daniel. I'm so sorry this happened to all OF YOU! I hope that y'all get back together soon! AND, btw, I'm a Grandma! You have all ages of fans!

so proud of you guys, you´ve grown so much as artists and it´s so good to see you getting confidence and the control to be you. Just love

so excited to see this! can't wait to hear what the guys have to say

I’m so excited to see this interview

I love them so much. They are so honest and expressive and you can see how they love themselves, their fans and what they do

These boys have gone through hell and back these past five years and to see them come out of it with so much understanding, compassion and fire is so amazing to witness. God has blessed them all with an incredible gift and I pray that they can continue on an upward journey. They deserve nothing but having the best come their way. ❤️

I am so damn proud of them nobody should ever have to go through that I’m so glad they have learned and had the confidence to know that’s not ok and stick up for themselves most bands that go through very tough situations usually just break up these boys are living proof that if you love something and want something bad enough to never give up and to keep going this is part of why I love them so much they are not just a typical band they are living angels in my eyes despite all that they’ve gone through they are still smiling through it they still got their laughs and of course they’re very kind loving hearts from what I see they are also very humble and grounded and we gotta love them for it

the heartbreak in their voices is painful. they are so incredibly strong ❤️🥺

thank you zach for providing such a safe space for the boys to share their story, i can tell it really helps them and will help others as well

this is like the first time i’ve fully gotten the story and it makes me want to cry. i feel so bad and so happy because of how strong they are being. they were abused as kids and it pains me. their manager (not the good one) pisses me off. he’s abusive and a terrible person. i’m so glad that they have pushed through all of this and kept making music and staying strong.

i’ve watched this multiple times. It hurts me so much that they went through this.. when daniel was talking you can hear in his voice. He wasn’t happy. But now since there on the hiatus, makes it even worst. I hope they are doing okay! My thoughts are all on you boys

The last time I watched an interview and felt this emotional was Liam on Diary of a CEO. I'm happy for these boys and how far they've come and that they were able to be closer bonded even when they felt like giving up. 🖤🖤🖤🖤

I remember when they "debuted" and I remember telling people how impressed I was with their voices and artistry and knowing that so much of their humanity was being stripped away in the process, that for every smile they gave me, their smile was being taken away, is crushing. I can't believe the tour I saw that I was so excited for and was one of the most enjoyable shows I went to, was one of the shows where they were overworked, starved, and exhausted. I remember when I saw an Instagram post and thought to myself "oh, they look really small, smaller than before, this doesn't look exactly healthy" but for some reason never thought as to why this could happen. As I slowly started to drift away from Why Don't We, one of the reasons I said was because "they just don't seem like themselves, they sound so filtered" and never did it cross my mind that maybe that reality was against their will. I reflect and I see that the signs were there, and I feel awful for failing to recognize them and I feel like I failed them as a fan. It was incredible to see how much each has grown, matured and how the band has stepped into themselves as musicians and as people. Abuse is so hard to rewire, especially from that young and I applaud them so much for no longer listening to those external and internal voices of "this is what you deserve" and stepping out and saying, "no I deserve more". I especially applaud when Daniel brought up the toxic masculinity that haunts many guys into internalizing their abuse and never seeking help and recognizing that they fought against that mentality to save their humanity and artistry. I wish I would've fought harder for you boys, and I am so sorry I didn't, I won't make that mistake again.

these guys are stronger than us and even they imagine. this interview was so needed and I'm so fucking excited about this new era. 🤍
