• Track Listing

Across the album's 12 tracks, West carefully examines the skeletons in her closet for the first time, hoping to capture honest snapshots of her past selves. Many of the songs show West asking herself agonizing questions about her life with a clever and hopeful curiosity. On the album's first single and opening track, "Destroyer," she reflects on feeling self-destructive and the delayed realization something in the past has irrevocably hurt you. In "Water Over Sex," West laments her old precarious lifestyle, while trying to readjust to her newfound sobriety, and "Copycat" confronts her feelings of alienation and boredom. "Some of this album is about being frustrated that everything is always repeating itself and being bored with your own feelings," she explains. "'Copycat' in particular is about how everyone talks exactly the same on the Internet and how it sometimes feels futile to try and be yourself."
