"It was a dream" for Trainor to work with Petras, who shares a deep passion for songwriting, PEOPLE reported.

Trainor has openly addressed her battles with panic disorder. She employs antidepressants, therapy, and fitness as part of her coping strategy. One of her musical highlights is Petras' "Slut Pop" EP from 2022. "That’s the only thing. I’m like, ‘This is it. This is going to get me going,’" she states. Music plays a vital role in her mental wellness, as it can instantly uplift her mood on challenging days.

She aims to use her music to challenge perceptions and champion sexuality in a fun, empowering manner.

Petras also elaborated on the significant hurdles faced by those in the trans community, highlighting how she recognizes the struggles many endure.
