“What a special track. I had a conversation with Becca on the first day of our writing camp in Canada with SeekingBlue where we both expressed how wild it was to be surrounded by such talent. We both felt heavy imposter syndrome being there and were having this great conversation about that feeling, and how it was affecting us that moment. That ended up becoming the base for Imposter, and Robert Gillies joined us to help create the story for the track.We wrote a lot about how the feeling of being an Imposter also affects our friendships and daily life. It was great tobe able to express something as vulnerable as that with this track.”
