"Church" is about breaking out of a toxic relationship and realising your own self-worth. Wonderland told Triple J "But it was the first thing that came to my mind. I felt like shouting at that person "I wish you would treat me like church! Praise me, make me feel like I'm worth something"."[1]

The accompanying video for "Church" was shot in Los Angeles and directed by Bo Mirosseni. It depicts an ethereal Wonderland and a young gospel choir against a church backdrop.[2]

Reception

Kat Bein from Billboard said "Next time you need a pick me up, listen to Alison Wonderland's 'Church.'" saying "It's triumphant with a big, booming chorus and a beat that bounces happily in the face of anyone who wants to tear you down."[3]

gollark: The fusion plant made several billion RF/t or something, but this never actually ended up being used anywhere since everyone involved in the project had their own dedicated fusion reactors.
gollark: That's cool, though OC 3D printing can do the same sort of thing.
gollark: This is pretty neat. Built on a server, it's a very overdone fusion plant I built with someone else.
gollark: I prefer NuclearCraft fusion.
gollark: I actually managed to get a fusion reactor and full self-sustaining setup down to fit in a 10x8x10 cube for space applications.
