In her January 2021 cover story for Rolling Stone magazine, Dua opened up about how Anwar inspired the music behind her most recent album. "When I was creating [my] first album, a lot of what was going on in my life was about heartbreak. This time around, I was feeling so happy, and things were going so well; I was like, 'Okay, I need to be able to portray this feeling in a way that doesn't feel cheesy to me,'" she said. The singer added that this is perhaps the most "comfortable" she's ever felt in a relationship.
