Although blue water road is full of light and love, Kehlani takes two minutes with “shooter interlude” to speak candidly about some of their experiences as an artist. First teased in the album trailer, Kehlani confides in an interview with NME that the track is actually made up of things people say to them.

“shooter interlude” is a compilation of all the bullshit that has come out of people’s mouths towards me. It’s a peek into the exhaustion and my perspective, so you know what it’s like being in my position.

Indeed, Kehlani lists some of the demands and judgments people have made of them since she found success in music eight years ago—ranging from financial demands to invasions of privacy. However, she says that doesn’t negate how grateful she is for all the love and prosperity she’s received throughout their career.

I think that as artists we can have toxic gratitude sometimes—we can be toxically positive. It was nice for me to have a moment where I could share some of the bullshit that I’ve experienced sometimes. It doesn’t take away from my gratitude or how happy I am to be here and how blessed I am.
