The album also drew songwriting and production from Julian Bunetta, Leroy Clampitt, Jason Evigan, and Jorgen Odegard, with contributions from Julia Michaels and JP Saxe. Carpenter framed the project as her most personal writing to date, addressing public scrutiny directly on tracks like 'because i liked a boy.' The later Fwd: edition extended the tracklist and included the breakout single 'Feather.'
