The song is the sixth single off of her upcoming EP about her ex-boyfriends titled EXES, and it’s about her high school sweetheart, Eric, who first broke deegie’s heart when she was 17 and whose cologne will always trigger her teenage desire.

“After running into Eric years after we dated, when we were both living in New York City, and getting rejected by him again, he’s truly cemented himself as the one who got away,” she said, reflecting on the relationship. “But it’s the idea of what he represented to me as an adolescent – a Prince Charming who could make me complete as a person and fulfill all my needs – that I had to get over by writing this breakup song.”

‘Old Spice (Eric #1)’ is a soliloquy to those aromas that can still catch us and drag us down a rabbit hole of memory and sensation years after we’ve moved on from a heartache, even when we know it’s self-destructive to let ourselves be dragged.

An infectious track that goes out to a former flame who got caught cheating only to come crawling back to deegie’s door, ‘Go Be With Becca (Zach)’ features venomous riffs, fiery percussion, and vocals that pound the pavement as deegie basks in the glow of revenge. Lyrics like “Get off your knees, it’s gross to beg / The pity party’s over, our relationship is dead” beg a cheater who keeps crawling back to give up and settle for the other woman.

“I had a weird feeling about Zach from the start, but I ignored the signs until a stranger on the Internet messaged me out of the blue to tell me he was cheating on me with his ex, Becca,” Anne says.
