Composition[]
“
The very first session I did out in LA, like when I’d begun that year of songwriting, and it was probably the day that made me feel like maybe I could do this for the rest of the year. I had like a terrible night, and it was something that was on my mind, and I didn’t want to tell anyone about it because it made me feel weak. And the next day we went to the studio, and, because they were also people I didn’t know, and it was kind of a safe space, they were asking me like what I was going through in life and I was like, ‘I mean, nothing really fun,’ so I was bummed out that I didn’t have much of a subject to talk about that I thought was songwriting-worthy but then I was like, ‘Oh, actually I’ve been going through something,’ and I end up bawling my eyes out, just crying in front of all these people I’ve never met before and then they were like, ‘Let’s write a song about it,’ and I was like, ‘I’m sure this can’t be a song, this is not even a love song. It has nothing to do with love or anything, nobody’s going to be interested in the song,’ and one of the co-writers, Amy, was like, ‘No, Rosie, I think we could do it. Let’s write a song,’ and it’s called ‘vampirehollie’ and I remember leaving that emotion behind in the room and I never thought about it again and that’s when I was like, ‘So it’s a cathartic process,’ really, it was.
