about

Some words from Kimi about the song:

"I grew up in a world that was full of those little checkmark boxes. You know, the kind you fill out at the DMV or when you take SATs. Every part of my identity was a checkmark on some form somewhere.

The fact that I preferred running through the forest and getting dirty to playing with dolls as a kid checked me off as a tomboy.

When I kissed my first girl and realized that my sexuality was more fluid than I realized, the bisexual box got checked.

Even now, in a time when the world is painfully expanding at a rapid pace, people are still trying to squeeze everyone into a box or force a label on them. Everyone needs to be defined. But, sometimes, those labels don’t fit or what labels DO fit change. It’s beautiful that we have words like nonbinary, genderqueer, and pansexual. I love that there are words that people can use to describe themselves if they so choose, or if it makes them feel less alone or more understood. Words can be powerful in that way. But I get uncomfortable when people are forced into a box. Are you male or female? Are you gay or straight? If you’re not any of those, then what are you? I think humans are fluid and consistently evolving, and I wish that there wasn’t always that pressure to wear a label or define yourself.

This song is about refusing to check those boxes. It’s about living your truest identity, however fluid it may be. It’s about accepting those around you and loving them for who they are, not for the the box they check.

It’s about embracing yourself as a human, a perfectly imperfect entity that is allowed to change."
