Songs

Regarding the No Roots EP, Merton stated that it reflects her personal experiences over the previous two years, especially her sense of not feeling at home. The title track "No Roots" represents this theme and her acceptance of the positives of a nomadic lifestyle. "Hit the Ground Running" is an empowering song designed to motivate both Merton and her listeners to actively pursue their goals, with production intended to evoke the energy of running. "Jealousy" was the most challenging track, taking over six months to write, and personifies the emotion as an unequal struggle between two forces. "Lie to My Face" explores experiences of dishonesty in relationships, pairing dark, dramatic production with lyrics that ironically encourage continued deception.[1]
