Speaking about the EP Arushi says “The EP has a bittersweet mood which covers themes of growing up and coming of age as I move out of home after finishing school. It highlights my feelings of being unsure of how things will turn out as well as being excited for the new experiences that come with leaving home. It also touches on my feelings of nostalgia from when I was younger. The EP is something that I hope other people who are experiencing and have already experienced similar things can relate to. All the songs on the EP are written by me and the EP is produced by Richard Andrew Dudley. The songs are all composed by Arushi Paul and Richard Andrew Dudley. The EP is arranged and programmed by Aadarsh Subramanium and the percussion and drums are done by Jaime Dudley. The ‘Mess It Up’ music video highlights the emotion of packing up and getting ready to leave on the next chapter of my life and how I felt during the experience. The video is out on YouTube now.”
