Speaking about No Revival, she says, "It’s the gut punch of realising someone you trusted has broken that bond. The song came from a moment of devastation, but also from the strength it takes to face that kind of truth head-on.
"For me, writing No Revival was about turning heartbreak into something that could speak to others who’ve been there."
