"’Come Around’ was inspired by a guy I used to play in a band with," she explains on the album's title track. "I really admired the way he played guitar. He had this laid back strum that was effortless and cool. I was mucking around at home one day trying to imitate the way he played and I wrote ‘Come Around.’”

”I wrote the song during a carefree springtime and I loved working on it while recording this album. There’s a lightness and openness to it, which I feel quite liberated by. It reminds me of a life I once had with very few responsibilities.”

The album as a whole lays bare the creative and emotive journey dal Forno has embarked upon since her previous album, 2019's 'Look Up Sharp', this time exploring concepts of the passing of time and energies associated with such.
