"I got stuck there and went through some negative, but mostly positive experiences, and it got me to write the songs that are now in my album," Lili shares in a statement. "My album is a reflection of my most natural state at this moment in time. I made no intention to sound anything but myself and it means a lot to mean that I was able to express myself in that way, as I've been wanting to do so for so long."

In an interview with Bandwagon, Lili says, "My lyrics are candid, optimistic, and contain messages of empowerment and resilience, while my music is inevitably influenced by the slow pace of the island juxtaposed against the sound of waves crashing and the calling to surf."
