The production of the song seamlessly blends elements of electronic and ambient music. The entire song was written in one day. “I came into my session with the boys on 2 hours of sleep, and probably some psychedelic residue in my body. Before I could mask anything, I walked in, sat down, and unraveled. ‘I’m a shell today, I’m sorry. I just can’t say no”.
So, the song came out from that state, those words. “From the literal night I had before”, bast explains. “It’s like this tinge of reluctant acceptance of where I’m at now and where I know I could be someday. At the core of it, at least I’m not lying to myself. Or maybe I am”.
“By the end of the day, I was fully on the floor, hands and knees, screaming, crying, yelling, laughing into the mic. I think that might be one of the most beautiful sessions I’ve had.”, the artist said.
