The EP was originally released digitally right at the dawn of the pandemic, on the 28th of February 2020 and due to the huge changes we all experienced last year, all of Chitra's touring and release plans were put on hold. The record features previously released singles 'Leaving', 'Keep Up', 'Better Than Before' and 'A Kind', the latter inspiring Pilerats to describe Chitra as "a buzzing master of emotive storytelling and the empowerment that comes with it; her subtle combination of sounds rooted in thick emotion and a sense of uplifting."
