"I wanted to make a record really intentionally, and rather than it being one random, full throttle gush of a particular emotion, to zero in on a lot of different kinds of relationships and point out the weak spots in them, or the mistakes that I felt that I've made. In order to carry myself through that with a little bit of a narrative structure, I created this myth of the Chaos Angel, which was kind of reverse-engineered from the song, which is the final track on the record, of this Amelia Bedelia-esque guardian angel, who was always coming around trying to do the right thing, trying to be the angel of love and ends up screwing everything up."

That theme of recognising your own mistakes and patterns is cleverly represented sonically, with literal repetition throughout the record. From "Give up, be loved" in the opener, through the self-soothing "If you're okay, then I'm okay" that forms most of the middle track 'Okay', to the title-track at the end, which picks up on her most prominently destructive pattern, breaking it as the song goes on and switching around the order of "I want you, I love you, I promise, I'm sorry" as it swirls out.
