In the trailer, Sawayama also talk about her fears during the creation process of her debut full-length, which released in April 2020. “It’s scary to alienate some people,” she says, referring to the transition from her 2017 EP ‘Rina’ to her LP. "The sound has definitely changed. It’s quite sad and angry, and it kind of reflects my overall feelings towards the world."
The singer continued, "You just never know. People are savage online, you know? You never know how it’s going to get received. I can only make it super authentic to how I’m feeling," adding, "I could sell out on the second album, sure, but my first album is pretty precious to me, and I have a lot to say, lyrically.”
