It's a metaphor for the dance of life we're all in. The title felt hilarious, ridiculous, and wonderful to me.”
She shared on social media, “Feels surreal to finally be able to bring this world to you that I've been living in for the past year & even more insane to be touring these songs I love to much in the fall.”- From the album, she premiered the fifth single called “Supersad” on BBC Radio 1's New Music Show with Jack Saunders.

Suki Waterhouse said of the song, “I tried to write a nineties song you could hear playing at the mall in Clueless or as an opening track for Legally Blonde.” -
She told Jack Saunders about the song, “I wanted to do a song with kind of like very upbeat was kind of like more sort of like an upbeat song about sort of like, lying in your bed and like bed raw and kind of like, I don't know, crazy times and like hotel rooms when I say. It's basically like an ode to like my extreme messiness. But like, I also kind of like the sound wise, I was like, I wanted to like make a song that sounded like what you would put on at the mall, and the movie 'Clueless' or like the opening title to 'Legally Blonde' that kind of like 90s movie was like where my head was at the time.”
