Pauli explains:
"At its heart, 'girl with the nose ring' is about letting go of being cool enough to actually feel something. There's a tension between pretending love is a joke and realising I might be caught in it myself. I wanted the lyrics to feel playful, provocative and slightly absurd, moving between bravado and vulnerability without taking myself too seriously. Soho House showers, mushrooms on a first date, rooftop adventures, bad tattoos and not even knowing each other's names."
"girl with the nose ring" is out now via Easy Does It Records.
