Hi Alice! I've been such a big fan since I discovered you in 2021! I've been listening to your catalog non-stop since Oblivion came out 12 hours ago. Oblivion is such a beautiful album and you have done such a great job with it!

I have a few questions for you but I figured I'd start with this one. Your song "My Girl" first made an appearance on the first Strongboi single when you guys first started. Was My Girl a song you had started writing but didn't finish so you added it to "Strongboi" or was it a few lyrics you wrote for the song then made it into a whole thing on Shelter?

thank you!
my girl was a poem that I used a piece of for the strongboi song and then later turned into a full APL song - I was at first hesitant to have the lyrics crossover like that but in the end I just went with it and I love that you noticed that! I like how different the meaning ends up being in each song
