The track centers on TOOPOOR‘s past relationships and the grief that surfaces after one comes to an end.
“I wrote ‘DESOLATION’ not long after a breakup,” she tells AP exclusively. “I was deep in a grieving moment. Typically, I grieve the relationship or my partner, but this time, I was grieving myself. I was mourning the loss of myself. I spent years in isolation and didn’t recognize myself by the end. Finishing this track and video really helped me find myself again. This was for me. It’s OK to be selfish sometimes.
