* CreatorRecovery: The largely uplifting, romantic ''Desire, I Want to Turn Into You'', was ironically first brainstormed as a result of the turbulent emotions she experienced following the start of the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic, from contracting the virus herself to losing her father, whom she had a turbulent relationship with. The wildly conflicting emotions spurned her into what she dubbed a "spiraling" state, musically and psychologically, acting on a stream-of-consciousness-style approach to her songwriting and lyrics that ended up emphasizing themes of optimism and escapism amidst bittersweet turmoil (in some cases, she described herself as "spiraling upward" or even "lateral spiraling". The final album ends up being very "maximist" and adventurous in mixing genres and influences (lumping Caroline's usual art pop sound with the likes of calypso and dembow, Celtic folk, flamenco, early 2000's radio pop, etc.), and with poetic, abstract lyrics that lean towards being romantic, witty, and upbeat.

* ThrowItIn: The guitar solo around the third chorus of "Welcome to My Island" was done by Caroline herself [[https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl1hKBEvLBd/ as a joke]]. While recording with co-writer Dan Nigro, she decided there needed to be a guitar solo, but after humming her intended melody to Dan, he instead passed her the guitar -- an instrument she didn't know how to play -- [[TheGadfly and insisted "whatever, just figure it out."]]

* InMemoriam: Caroline dedicated the song "I Believe" -- a song about immortality through remembrance -- to her late friend [[Music/{{Sophie}} Sophie Xeon]], who passed away from an accidental fall in 2021. The LyricalColdOpen "Look over the edge, but not too far" is almost certainly a tragic nod to the incident that claimed her life.
