This track came about while I was in the middle of my most recent national tour. I was travelling all over Australia, playing shows with Tijuana Cartel and it was my first time doing a massive run of shows like that. I was learning a lot, going to places I've never been before, meeting a bunch of new people and catching up with friends who lived in other cities. It was freeing and felt like I was doing the exact things I'd been reaching for, for the past couple of years. And travelling by myself meant I got to explore my identity and self confidence deeply. Ultimately, I came home feeling powerful. I had a break in the middle of the tour where I was home for about 2 weeks and I just wrote everyday. 3 tracks came out of that two week period and 'She.' is one of them. I was listening to a lot of r&b and rap at the time. Especially tracks made/performed by powerful womxn, like Dounia, IAMDDB and Miss Blanks. I guess my ego was being built up by the genre I was listening to all the time and by me feeling so good about the tour. I had a lot of fun submerging myself into my boosted ego - just kind of swimming and playing in it. And so I wrote this song which really just consists of all the memories of when I've felt the most powerful. The moments of quiet confidence, of effortless dominion, of self restraint, of subtle sexuality and of wild freedom. Just words and phrases that remind me of those moments.
