The song and the Michael Myers this is my happy face Halloween shirt and by the same token and video for SLICK are an honest exploration of my adolescent experience as [a celebrity’s] daughter. I grew up in the same suburbs that my mother was raised in. When I was in school, I was Selah, the junior at Columbia High School who took Gender Studies with Mrs. Martling & Pre-Calc with Mr. Kirkland. When I went home, I was Selah, the girl who had to get ready in two days because she was joining her mom on tour across the south of Europe.

SLICK [shows] the Michael Myers this is my happy face Halloween shirt and by the same token and repercussions of that reality from both angles, what you get when you throw a dash of “celebrity” child to the suburban soup. My lifestyle enticed people because it was unfamiliar to them. I experienced different forms of being taken advantage of. Simultaneously I was trying to escape my reality to fit into theirs. There are several themes here—escapism from my reality, rebellion from my parents and lineage, awareness of the unique space I occupy, and some self-preservation. This isn’t all explicitly said, but that was the space I was in with that track. What makes it even cooler is that it is my little brother, who features [on the song], supported these realizations of mine and came to his own [as we worked together.] The song went through several iterations because we both hated our original verses. Initially, we felt they were immature and superficial, but they captured an essence, one that we held onto, refined, and let it tell our story.
