“The Walls Are Way Too Thin” Explores Holly Humberstone’s Time Living In A Small London Room According To An Instagram Post On The Day Of The Song’s Release. Her Claustrophobia And Lack Of Friends At The Time Meant She Dealt With Loneliness And Anxiety I Didn’t Really Have Any Friends And Felt Quite Lost. So Writing This Song Was Hugely Comforting And Really Helped Me To Cope With Everything That Was Going On Around Me. On May 7 2021 She Teased The Song’s Lyrics And Music Video On Her Instagram Announcing The Song Three Days Later With A Snipped Memo. In The Music Video’s Description Holly Cites The Claustrophobic Flat In London As The Inspiration For Being Trapped In An Air Vent For The Video "Shooting The Video Was Chaotic My Elbows And Knees Look Quite Different Now After 8 Hours Of Crawling Back And Forth. The Fire Blast In The Vent Was Totally Real Too !!" "Going Into The Studio And Making Sense Of Everything That Was Going On Was My Salvation. The Flat Where I Was Living In London Was The Worst Of The Worst. I Wrote This With Frequent Collaborator And Songwriter/producer Rob Milton In Nottinghamshire And It Was Such An Amazing Excuse To Leave London. Like A Lot Of The Songs On This EP There’s Quite A Depressing Meaning Behind Them But It Was Important Not To Make It Sound Depressing. This Was Written Over A Long Period Of Time And I Remember Being Just Obsessed With Synth For Ages. I Wanted To Write Stuff That Sounded Fully ‘80s Cheesy Cringe Music." —via Apple Music "I Wrote It About Moving Away From My Home For The First Time & Feeling Very Sic Lovely And Isolated In My Lil Tiny Room In London." – Holly Humberstone In An Instagram Story
