Background

Regarding her album, Beihold said of her album that it's the "proudest I’ve ever been of anything I’ve made." She described her album as being about the "journey through depression, experiencing complete loss of self, and how I have come out on the other side to be the happiest and most me I have ever been. It’s fun and pop and silly, and I’m ready for 2025 to be done so I can finally share this new music with my fans!"[3]
