‘Fear’ showcases Phoebe Bridgers-esque vocal delivery beautifully melded with whimsical, summery indie-pop instrumentation. Unlike its cheerful and carefree sound, ‘Fear’s subject matter is dark and uncomfortable.

“Fear is uncomfortable, and this song is my attempt to unpack that,” says Farren. “I constantly struggle to understand and confront life in real time. I’m always asking myself, ‘how did I get here?’ There’s a lot of responsibility in being human, and I think fear fundamentally drives a lot of our actions and decisions. Putting this song into the world, after writing and producing it in my room, is my attempt to confront my fear of ‘Fear.’”
