They said, "This one is very special for many reasons. It came about so naturally, yet it was a bit of a puzzle to make it into what you’re hearing today. If you’ve ever struggled mentally you know just how scary it can be and how much shame you can feel. That’s the part that isn’t talked about enough. How little patience we have for those who are struggling. How quickly we are to judge and say “why can’t they just get it together?” This kind of attitude only perpetuates mental illness and we need to be aware of how we view and treat those who are going through it."
When Taylor says listen to girl in red, we listen to girl in red.
An incredible debut album that encompasses those feelings of youth and angst in a way that's so poetic and vulnerable. She's frustrated, angry, in love, in lust, and it builds into this explosion. It's everything you want from a young artist and sets the stage for where she's heading.

They shared, “We wanted to write a song about the duality and human condition that we feel so often. The spectrum of emotions that we personally go through and wrestle with. As much as we try to maintain a positive mindset, we’re acknowledging the battle with the darker side of our brain. It’s just a really open honest perspective of what goes through our heads on a daily basis.”
