On the track Mann said “I’ve always been so attached to my independence, so fiercely protective of it. I’d drive thousands of miles alone to prove that I could, that I didn’t need anyone- and then one day I just realised that I wanted to be able to let go of the wheel and not feel like everything was going to fall apart. I wanted to let someone in and not feel like I was losing part of myself, because they loved me as I was: free.

“In the end, when I’m really in love with someone, it’s because they feel both like freedom and like home in equal measure. These days, I know that I want to share the journey, because freedom doesn’t mean anything on its own, on MY own. I want to sit in the passenger seat and watch you drive, I want to feel limitless, alongside you.”

On the new track, Clara Mann offered “‘Stadiums’ is about running towards someone who’s running towards something else. Loving someone whose passion, whose driving force, is creative (in this case music) is like having a third person in the relationship. Someone’s creative brilliance is a beautiful, powerful, mysterious thing in them, often the thing that is most magical and attractive about them, and the thing that, in the end, is always pulling them just out of reach.

“It’s ‘I want you, you want This’, and in writing it I was forced to ask myself ‘what does it mean if I’m a person who wants that, like you are – is it hard to love me, too?'”
