Speaking with TrendingAllDay, Emma said that Dirt was “inspired by so many amazing pop albums that have been released”, and that she “wanted to make a record with a sound that I would really resonate with”.
Emma revealed that the song was “heavily inspired by the breakdown of a friendship over the past couple of years” and described her single in three words as “best served cold”.
Talking about the upcoming album, Emma said she will not reveal who her songs are written about. “Every track on the album is inspired by personal experiences. I am sure certain people will believe certain songs are about them – it’s up to them if they want to put that out there.”
Cannot believe I'm going to bed with my song nestled in with major artists in the iTunes charts!! If you haven't already (and enjoy the song) a lil 99p purchase helps out a TON! If you can't afford it (or hate it lol) no worries! Streaming a few times is kinda the same thing ☺️ https://t.co/V6PpSXNaAK
