In a 2009 with ABC, Geyer said of Paul Kelly, "I think some of the best things that he's ever written have been when he's written for somebody else. He's got an uncanny way of putting things that a billion people have said a million times, but he has a way of making it sound like it's the first time you've heard it. And that's why he's such a great writer." adding the title track is "about a complicated woman and that's it."^[1]

The album is set for release on LP for the first time in March 2024.^[2]
