Background

"Make a Man" received critical acclaim for its intense criticism of female objectification and toxic masculinity. Källström described it as ""the story of a heterosexual female’s battle between desiring a man, whilst simultaneously finding herself having little respect for his self-important ego and misogynistic attitude towards women. She retaliates by objectifying him herself".[1] The song was first released on the band's SoundCloud account on 25 September 2015,[2] while the music video came out on 3 November 2015.[3] On 4 December 2015 the song was released as a single.[4]

"Drop", the band's second single came out on the band's SoundCloud on 7 April 2016. The song was written while Källström was in jail. "I got arrested. And I was bored. So I just started reciting these lyrics. No wonder I ended up getting charged, they must have thought I was mental. I was fine in the end."[5] "Drop" was released as a standalone single on 5 May 2016.[6]

In 2018, the band released three singles ahead of the debut album: "Lilac", "Cameras", and "Body".[7][8][9]
