The album had been worked on by Nesbitt for three years and is more pop-focused than her previous material.[7] Nesbitt stated that it is “the album I always wanted to make on my own terms. It’s an honest account of somebody in their early ’20s, giving a real window into their often ever changing life.”[8]
“The Best You Had” has been called “R&B-tinged” and an “unusually honest breakup track”, while “The Moments I’m Missing”, produced in Nesbitt’s bedroom, was called “multi-layered” with a story behind it.[8][9] “Somebody Special” was noted as a “love song with a twist” and a “self-love anthem”, and “Is It Really Me You’re Missing?” was originally intended for Rihanna.[8][9]
