Background
Gray has cited Lorde's debut album, Pure Heroine, as a major inspiration for the EP because of its small-town nostalgia.[1]
In November 2019, Gray took to Twitter to celebrate the one year anniversary of the EP's release, stating "can't even begin to explain how much these five songs changed my life, so i’m not even going to try to. just. i'm happier now than i've ever been my whole entire life. so thank u." The tweet featured a screenshot of the EP's growth on Spotify, showing that it had gained over 145 million streams in one year.[2]
