Originally penned as a lament on surveillance capitalism, "Song of a Caged Bird" took on new meaning for Khouri during the pandemic when the world outside fell away, replaced by a miasma of ceaseless 1s and 0s. Reflecting on making the single, Nadine says: 

"We were getting ready to go into the studio to record it and the whole world went into lockdown... Of course, the lyrics spooked me out then and the song took on a whole other meaning for me when I was between four walls for months. Ironically, the social media I was bemoaning had, quite literally, become my only way of connecting with anyone in the outside world."
