Background and release
In late 2019 and early 2020, Girl in Red began continuously teasing and hinting at the phrase "World in Red". She told
"Apartment 402" was featured on the soundtrack of FIFA 22.[29]
Recording, concept and composition
The record was primarily produced by Girl in Red and Norwegian musician
And while its title is still under wraps, she promises that "there's some crazy shit going down on this album. I can tell you that for sure. I'm doing things I've never done before. It's a very, very ambitious album." Still bearing the distinctive girl in red hallmarks we know and love – "except way, way cooler," Marie notes – the singer is already sure of her ideal reaction to the album: "'Holy fuck, I didn't see this coming! This is some grown, 2.0 shit.'" The record, she continues, acts as an "emotional recap" of the past year. "I'm writing a lot about my mental health and the different sides of love – you know, the type of things that take up my time," she elaborates.
