In Their Words: “For this track and the concepts sparked from it, we wanted to take our fans and listeners through a sonic experience we’ve never done as a band — experimenting with heavy synth sounds and deep reggae-influenced bass and vibe guitar. At the time, the band was going in a new direction with that instrumentation, so it was a great opportunity for us to tell a different story lyrically, as well. To even further open it up to unchartered territories, I co-wrote the song lyrics to ‘Broken Woman’ with my now-husband, so this single really took some bravery to create from all sides!” — Ruby Velle
