“Air So Sweet” originally came out as a demo on dodie’s second YouTube channel, doddlevloggle, on October 16, 2018. The demo was originally about 52 seconds long, whereas iTunes lists the official release as 1:05 minutes.

In the video shared to doddlevloggle, dodie associates this song with how happy she had been feeling in a particular moment. After she had finished a recording session with Jacob Collier, for what we can assume now was them recording their cover of “Here Comes the Sun” by The Beatles, dodie had felt just really happy. She associates “Air So Sweet” most to her running down her street barefoot (“I was wearing shoes, but I liked the idea of not wearing shoes cuz that’s what it felt like; I felt so grounded for once.”) to her friend and fellow musician, Orla Gartland’s house. From what she shared, this was just focused on the moment of running to Orla’s house feeling excited that they were now neighbors and excited to tell Orla about how great and happy she had been feeling.
