Reflecting on the inspiration behind ‘Delusional’, Jocelvn shares, “Writing this song felt especially cathartic because I was writing about someone I felt like I couldn’t reach through conversation. Some of the things they said to me were so bizarre and manipulative that I genuinely felt that the only explanation was that they had to be delusional if they thought they were being true.”
