Of their collaboration with Loveless, Smith shares, “It was even better than I could’ve hoped. [Julian’s] part is so crazy and he just added so much flavor and spice to the song. It’s exactly what I hoped but then multiplied. And I feel like that’s pretty much what every feature on the record did…They did exactly what I would hope they would do, which is to be themselves. Their authentic selves, and their artistic selves. But, him in particular too, he went to town on his part.”
