Pink went on to say that the album was written during the COVID-19 pandemic, as she reflected on her own place in the world.
“I took time,” she said about making the album. “I had time, and I had a lot of really devastating things happen.My son and I got really sick with COVID. That sort of distilled down for me what actually matters. And it takes a crisis to do that.”
