Arlo Parks Discusses New Album, Mid-20s Anxiety And What Makes A Good Love Song

The album takes on various themes, including self-exploration and the anxiety that comes with being in your 20s.
“There’s something really profound about the years where you find yourself, where you have to decide where your place is in the world… There’s something quite painful about that journey, but also beautiful, because it’s something that everybody goes through,” Parks said.
“And when you’re in it, you feel like you’re the only person who doesn’t have it figured out, and then you talk to more people, and it’s like everyone is in the same boat,” she adds. “I’m still figuring it out, and I feel blessed to know that I’ve got something that feels like a purpose to me, but it’s still complicated, you know?”
