Background

According to Kate Stables, the lead singer of the band, the name of the album and the song of the same name were based on a children's game.[13] Stables stated in an interview: "It seemed like some kind of powerful magic spell. That's woven in there, with ideas about change — how we deal with change and how we relate and live with other people in different situations, how we see and experience things differently at different times, how different numbers can dramatically change a group's dynamic."[13]

In 2018, the band released demo versions of several of the songs, as well as a collection of remixes.[14][15]

gollark: How long ago was this "glitch"?
gollark: Yes, using cheaty abilities which people are denied by by the silly, lacking API.
