In the interview, the singer spoke about the success she achieved lately. Laufey recently won a Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album and has since been touring Europe. “It’s been absolutely crazy. I mean, the day after the Grammys I flew to London for tour. So it’s been just a whirlwind, but it’s been spent with my fans, which is the best thing ever,” she explained.
The “Valentine” singer then further reflected on the support from her fans. “I started this project online during the pandemic, and I feel like I owe so much to the Laufey community,” the artist revealed. “I just love them very much and try to include them in it as much as possible… I see it as a joint project almost,” she continued.

Listeners were especially moved by the final lyrics of the song:
“You took me for a fool
You stole my youth
You wanted this so much
You watched me rise
Then killed my light
And now you know
I’m not your f*cking goddess”
