“I Shouldn’t Be Here” actually ended up on the album with the help of some serendipity. I use this journaling app and it will give me notifications like ‘On this day, two years ago, you wrote this.’ That’s occasionally wonderfully nostalgic, and occasionally an emotional risk to open up. So on this particular day, about a year ago, I get that notification. I opened it up, and I see the lyrics to “I Shouldn’t Be Here”, which I think are funny, but in my head, I’m thinking, ‘There’s no way I’m making this into anything. You know, I’m all about sincerity, but this probably goes too far.’ And then later that day, I was watching an interview with Phoebe Waller-Bridge about the making of Fleabag and she said something along the lines of how she knows that a scene needs to stay in an edit if it scares her. Because if it scares her, that means there’s some extra humanity in there. So I thought to myself, ‘Oh, fuck, I think I have to make “I Shouldn’t Be Here” into a song.’ It scared me enough to feel a little too real, which means it’s the kind of art that I need to make.
