Background

In an interview with Apple Music, Stella describes Three. Two. One. as "releasing myself from the pressure of prior expectations and intimidations. Three, two, one, I’m diving in and doing what feels good to myself. The album is a free fall. Ultimately, I wanted [this album] to be an honest introduction, true to who I am as a human being, and hopefully people will draw parallels to their own lives.[2] The track "Save Us" features an interpolation of British singer Donna Lewis's 1996 hit "I Love You Always Forever".[3] The song "Jealous" features songwriting credits from Finneas and production from Joel Little.[4]
