The album featured three songs about feeling “lonely”. It’s a regret he’s been pondering since his 2020 debut album, ‘ ~how i’m feeling~’, a long-awaited release that followed a near-decade of releasing music online. “I let music take up so much space in my life to the point where everything else was kind of just stagnant.” “I spent a lot of time chasing goals and achievements as opposed to growing relationships with people in my life,” he says.

The weighty epiphany would serve as the turning point on the journey to more authentic output from LA-based pop star Lauv – real name Ari Leff – that could only flourish when he set out to confront the source of his restlessness. And then, I came back around and realised, I don’t feel an innate sense of deserving to be happy.” “At one point, I was like, ‘I want to step away from music’. “I had such an existential breakdown,” he says.
