In an interview with Vogue around its release, she opened up about the relationships that inspired the record's lyrics. “I feel like I’m in a whole new phase of my life,” McRae told the outlet. “I just feel a lot more grown, and that I’ve gone through experiences that I was too terrified to talk about before." She added, "Over the past year and a half, I made a lot of decisions based on intuition and what I was feeling in my heart. And that resulted in some of the most beautiful relationships and passionate times of my life, and I fell in love so hard, but I went through experiences that were very unpleasant too, and felt the repercussions of that approach harshly. When you lead with intuition, you feel the consequences 10 times as hard. That’s really how the album shakes out."
