I hadn't felt that intensely for someone in a long time, and I was really scared. “So many of these songs have to come from real things that are happening in my life. We don't want to be a girl that takes down another girl. I liked how it felt and I liked how it was worded. I was so stressed out and I was so confused. But I wrote 'Gemini Moon' because I had a really tough breakup a couple years ago which started as us taking a break—this in-between thing where you're feeling two states at once.
It was just so intense and I was so mad. It started because I wrote down in my notes one day the sentence ‘My tummy hurts, he's in love with her.’ It wasn't really about any specific situation, which is usually where I write from. I was so stressed out and I was so confused. “So many of these songs have to come from real things that are happening in my life.

I also wore these faux leather pants and big boots and a fuzzy sweater, and the venue was so hot and I was suffocating.
Ever since I became more publicly out, so many straight girls are like, ‘I couldn't be with a girl, but wow, if I did...’ So it's just the gay-girl experience of all these straight girls being like, ‘I am either a closeted gay in a way that I don't understand or I'm just kind of using you as a little prop.’ And that sucks any way you slice it.
It was almost exactly two years apart.” “Snow Angel” “I went through a really shitty experience in early 2022. Then I was in the studio one day and fresh into a new relationship and I was experiencing being in love with someone again after having that fallout. Oh my god, this is the code for this album, we've cracked it.’ In my brain I'm like, ‘Well, this was one of the worst experiences in my life, so glad that it could turn into something like this.’” “So What Now” “I was seeing this person and we had a really quick in-and-out kind of thing.
Through all that success, Rapp also somehow found the time to develop into a preternaturally talented songwriter. She said her old friends warned her about them, but decided to go out anyway because she had just gone through a break-up and wanted to feel a sense of freedom.
