We'll say like when we put out the first Something Corporate record, I think a lot of that music was really reflective of sort of our high school, post high school journey, because a lot of those songs were written in that time. And that was sort of the first record we went out and toured the world with and got noticed for.

And then, you know, by that point that I was coming back to write those songs for North, I was just in a much different headspace. And it was like, I wanted to do something moodier and And it was like the first time I was living in Jordan Pundick from Newfound Glory. I was living in his guest room, you know, and it was sort of the first time I'd lived away from my parents.

And so I had all this freedom just to sit in a room and write all day. And I mean, I would be lying to say I wasn't like smoking a ton of weed at that point and just playing the piano and just trying to find new chords and new chord shapes and progressions. And I got to the sort of piano figure that plays under the verses of that song, which I was like, this is so cool.

It felt like something really new for me. And the first words that showed up were, it's a good year for a murder. That's so good.

I remember even in that moment being like, oh, this is going to land pretty interesting. Like this is different. Yeah, I'm like punk rock princess to let's talk about murder, you know. But I was just in love with it. And it sort of wrote itself, like the verses wrote itself. And it became about this sort of idea of like a suburban mother finally reaching her breaking point with her husband. Yeah.

And, you know, I grew up in an amazing house. And by the time I was, you know, in high school, it was like, you know, a lot of like a house full of women. It was like my sister and my mom and me. And, you know, my mom never tried to kill my dad.

But I think I could relate to the angst of that just having been, you know, my mom and I were super close growing up. And so it was like originally it was a courtroom drama. Like the chorus was like was all about what happens after. I loved that. the murder and then I, it didn't fit right. And, and me and the band were on tour in, we were in Amsterdam, I think, or something like that.
