John McEnroe about his unreleased album: "It wasn't good enough to release it"

In a conversation with GQ in 2019, John McEnroe revealed that he tried to write original songs after his retirement, but decided not to release them.

"Well, after I stopped playing, I was working on some songs and playing with people. And that led to, “Hey, we should write original songs.” And I'm not going to bore all your readers with the details, but the bottom line is that I had control over whether it be released and at the end of the day – sadly for the world or, maybe, luckily for the world – I decided it wasn't good enough to release it," McEnroe said in an interview with GQ.

McEnroe mentioned that the vocals were the most important part of a song for him, something that was not the strongest aspect of his attempt.

"And that was because of the vocals. For me, it's all about the vocals and although I like sing and talk, the singing part just didn’t work out. I would have preferred to get a real singer," McEnroe added.
