In 2020, just before the second United Kingdom COVID-19 lockdown,[1] Piri matched on Tinder with Tommy Villiers,[2] a member of the band Porij.

[3] A couple of weeks later, one of the band's photographers retweeted one of their photo shoots, prompting her to find his Instagram account and ask him out.

[6] They began writing songs together after they realised that Piri could sing and Villiers could produce, starting with "Sunlight".

[16] In addition, the pair uploaded a twelve episode YouTube Shorts series, froge.tv, in which Piri and Villiers explained what the album's songs were written about.

[20] Any of these tracks would sound perfect at a beach rave, but the lyrics and hooks stick with you, and they stand up to repeated home listens.

[24] A more lukewarm review came from Luke Nuttall of The Soundboard Stereo, who felt that little else was of the same standard as "On & On" and that the mixtape's "very light, tactile pop / drum 'n' bass" was "not in any way equipped to convey" some of the lyrics on "Beachin" such as "I got him bussin', he makin' some mayo".
