Background[edit]
The album was recorded in Los Angeles and Stockholm, Sweden[6] and was called a "new chapter" for Lo, "marked by reclamation of confidence, hard-earned wisdom, more time, and a budding romance". Lo also said the album title is a "play on pussy power", calling the cartoon cat "an extension of me and part of the new music".[7] Lo also said the songs are "happier" than her previous material, that the album will feature "dirty pop, sad bangers, and badass collabs",[8] and "There's definitely some club bangers on there, but some of it is a bit more acoustic".[9]
