Speaking about the release, pinkpirate says: “‘Undone’ was inspired by the sounds of the early 00s. I really liked the idea of mixing sounds like an acoustic guitar with a big electronic drum sound.

“Lyrically, the song is about seeing friends being treated sub-par by their partner, knowing that you could easily treat them better in that situation without thinking twice about it. The main theme comes in the chorus, where the lyrics talk about being willing to mentally come ‘undone’ – open up and tell them everything – if they took a step back to listen to you and realise how they were being treated.”

Where previous single ‘Daisy’ saw pinkpirate portray a positive queer narrative, focusing on the innocence and naivety in the early stages of queer relationships, ‘Can We Talk About The Past Instead?’ immortalises their anxieties around the passing of time; “I wrote ‘Can We Talk About The Past Instead’ about the fear I’ve always had about growing up. I wanted it to be the fun song on the EP, inspired by Charli XCX and other more ‘avant-pop’ artists. I’ve always wanted to talk about my anxiety surrounding growing up within a song and I think the lyrics capture the ideas around the pressure to grow up and not be boring or simple, but simultaneously about how once you get to a certain age, you don’t really seem to matter to society anymore (especially on social media). The song originated as a bit of a joke as one of my friends wanted to scream on a song I wrote, so I got her to send me audio of her screaming and then wrote the first verse around that…”
