Speaking recently about the album’s lead single ‘Run For Cover’ — which was co-written with Royal Blood‘s Mike Kerr — Phillips told The Line of Best Fit: “It’s fun, but on a bit of a knife edge of risk and weird. Sex can be clumsy, emotional and complex. There’s so much baggage that it comes with. We wrote the song from a man’s perspective. It felt empowering to flip it to the female gaze.”
She continued: “I think I’m exploring both power and my weakness in equal measure. We wanted it to sound manic – like Hives meets John Travolta, hips swinging. I love this song. I hope it makes women find themselves and dump their boyfriends.”
