Joshua Roberts: Vince brought in the demo to Breathing. We worked on it at the Audio Compound with legendary producers Andrew Wade and Andy Karpovck. While tracking my vocals, Andrew and Andy pushed me very hard and made me run half a mile before I could track. Sometimes they would bring in hot sauce, and I would take some before tracking. That day I was on fire, to say the least.

Tristan Torres: An interesting fact about this song is that the hook was written to the 100 gecs instrumental of their song ‘Torture Me’. Freddie and I are huge gecs fans, so they wanted to see what they came up with while writing the instrumental. We wrote it in my girlfriend’s bedroom while on lots of caffeine, and Freddie was watching Twilight on his phone.

Tristan Torres: I was really inspired by anime and the Gorillaz while making the band, and I always wanted to do something like that for Magnolia Park. So I came up with our character Baku and started to build a world for him. Heart Eater, Soul Eater, and Moon Eater are antagonists in Baku’s story. I wanted to have songs that gave a vibe to what each character is and would be theme songs to who they are. Both Soul and Moon Eater have completely different experiences while listening to the music.

Joshua Roberts: A fun fact about this song is that the house beat at the end was not intended to be there. Towards the end of the creation of the song, Tristan came up with the idea of creating the house beat. So we completely scraped the ending that was already there while Tristan put together what would be the ending of the song. It was a pretty daring move, but we’re all glad it happened and worked out.
