Key tracks are centrepiece ‘(Track 4) Caving In’, a painfully honest confession of a dilemma between rationality and innate jealousy, and ’(Track 6) Spring Street Honeybee’, tracing a walk down of a bittersweet young love story. ’(Track 2) Please Don’t Do It’ is an Album Version of a previously release single, channeling a melancholic tune about one’s frustrations with their person going down a path of self-destruction.
In kotoji’s words, “I hope I am able to be there for you on your respective journeys, and this body of work can be your companion as you go through these moments of being human.”
