about this song
Like “Orlando,” this song also explicitly references being bullied and beat up as a kid. Why did you decide to focus on those details here? Dagenham is a town where I’m from in Essex, and this song is directly about one of the moments when I got jumped as a kid. I was in the hospital, and when I got out I cut all my hair off, stopped painting my nails, wearing makeup, all this other shit. I stopped it all. I went to school, and I remember my English teacher started crying when they saw me.
