Background
The EP primarily features acoustic folk punk and folk rock songs, with a hint of power pop.[3][4] While Grace clarified that it is not a "pandemic album", the uncertainty brought on by the pandemic influenced the EP's surprise release. Speaking about her writing process, she shared "I've just been trying to stay sane over the past year and a half or so. I've been in this mindset of 'Just keep working. Just keep writing songs. Share them while you're excited about them so they feel relevant to you.'"[5] In a press release, Grace described the collection as "songs of late-night madness and loneliness, orphan songs that came wandering in, looking to feed like insects".[6]
