Quote:

I worked with these guys called The Blueprint, and a guy called Rob Fusari. He’s done stuff with Lady Gaga and all sorts.

It’s hugely flattering that they [Island] wanted to sign me. I had an offer from Sony as well, so I was in a really fortunate position and I felt very lucky, but Island seemed so excited by it, and they didn’t have anything similar to me here.

Well the thing they [Island] did was that they DIDN’T tell me how they saw me. They let me talk. They let me tell them about myself. They let me explore different sounds and they let me take a long time, but they’ve really helped. I’ve been on writing camps!

Some sessions had writers in writing songs to pitch out, Kesha was there doing her album, I was there doing mine… I was working with people like James Newman, Taylor Parks who’s written loads for Ariana Grande and Fifth Harmony, I was going in and out of studios working with people I’d never had the opportunity to work with in the past.

[About her favorite part of the song:] There’s something I quite like about the middle eight where it’s very simple and goes “back to, us two”. It’s a little bit eerie but it’s very vulnerable. The best part of the song is the “don’t wanna feel this way” semi-adlib that appears near the end.

I was very hands on with the video. Directors were sending in scripts but in the end Peter [Loraine, management bigwig] said: “Mollie, you’ve clearly got such a clear idea of what you want this to be, why don’t you write the brief yourself?” So I did, and then we called in Lisa Dunning who ended up directing it, and she and I put the whole thing together.

There’s a bit in the video where you’re flung from a car which does raise some questions about why you weren’t wearing a seatbelt but there’s ANOTHER bit, right at the end, where your car is teetering on the edge of a cliff. Literally a cliffhanger ending. And the viewer is invited to ponder the question: is Mollie going to make it? Well it is a cliffhanger ending, I did want it to have a bit of darkness in it. I’m so proud of it and I’m glad you’re talking about it.

she's coming!
