In an interview with Women in Pop, Graace said "[It is] literally the polar opposite to [debut EP] Self Sabotage. I think my growth in those three years was pretty immense emotionally. I love this EP so much because it's not just about heartbreak, I've finally been able to write about my father and things that are really, really personal."[7]

[edit]

In March 2024, Graace released "Jealous Type", her first new music in two years.[8] In June 2024, Graace announced her third EP After Image.
