“Single Again” explores a specific moment in time, with Ross sharing a personal anecdote of an unexpected encounter. “‘Single Again' leans into how timing can sometimes be everything. I ran into my high school crush at a bar and wanted to buy her a drink. She let me know she had a boyfriend and I remember saying ‘well let me know if you're ever single again'.”
“Truck Girl” delves into the intense feelings associated with a love lost. Ross reflects on the song, “'Truck Girl' is about realizing and processing the raw emotion that comes from having that person you thought could be your forever, walk away for good.”
