Of the album, the singer said: “I had a lot more confidence because I’d done it before, I wasn’t afraid to just go in and experiment and try new things. While I was walking, I was listening to OutKast and No Doubt and I was like, ‘What is it about these records that I still love and relate to so much? Why do I feel like they haven’t aged? And how could I incorporate that nostalgic feeling of all my favourite childhood memories and inspirations into something new and modern?”
