Background

In an interview with FMQB Radio, Cassidy gave insight on the song:

'Innocent Man' is talking about the situation I went through when I was locked up for the murder and two attempts, It talks about what I was going through and how I was feeling before it happened, after it happened, and how I feel now. I think it says a lot, and it tells you a lot about me. It's definitely going to be my second single because it brings my story to light. And this is what the album is based on — the Barry Reese story. I wanted to tell my story, my real life story, not just about being an entertainer, but the story about [being] Barry Reese.[1]

gollark: Meanwhile on Android Google has some awful SafetyNet thing which means apps can refuse to run if you have the bootloader unlocked, yes.
gollark: You can turn that off, and there's no feature where, say, a website can refuse to serve content to you if you do.
