SO GROWN UP! Phoebe and her best friend Izzy relive poignant teenage nostalgia as they navigate the moody streets of their childhood home, Blackpool, re-enacting memories from their youth. The tender and mature lyrics reflect on their experience of heartbreak, the pain of reality and the desire to remain youthful indefinitely. I wanted to retain a warm bittersweet glow of childhood nostalgia, whilst pairing this with the brutalist, coastal arcade mania of Blackpool, with its contradictory scenery. I aspired to give this a  ‘coming-of-age’ narrative grit whilst allowing for intimate portraits of Phoebe and Izzy with an innocent gaze.
