In regard to the inspiration behind the track, she said: “There’s a story about ‘count me out’ — someone I love was stood up on their first date with someone they really liked, and were absolutely heartbroken. I remember being so furious on their behalf that I marched downstairs to my piano and wrote ‘count me out’. It’s such a fun little song and it’s my message to her and anyone else that you deserve better — you deserve someone who will actually show up for you!”

She continues: “When I wrote it, I had a very specific vision in my mind about its production and aesthetic, but at that point I was unsure if I’d be able to pull it off; I couldn’t afford a producer, and I didn’t have a label or a team behind me. I still don’t have either of those things, but since I wrote it I’ve developed my own skills as a producer and manager of my own career and I’m so proud that it sounds like something that seventeen-year-old me would be proud of. It’s such a fun song and I have wonderful memories attached to it, so seeing it out in the world is amazing. And the muse of the song likes it too!”
