Upon the announcement for
Fashionably Late, it was confirmed it would feature six tracks; their first three releases, as well as three new songs: "Rush Hour", "
Candy" and "Silly Boy". It also features two
interludes; "Give a Girl Her Shoe!" and "Dead Chat!". The EP is conceptual and shows the arc of a night out: getting ready and leaving in "Rush Hour", taking charge in "Candy", falling for someone in "Lovesick" and going back to friends in "Real Friends". Miller appreciated the direction they had took, comparing it to 2000s musicians like Fergie, who "just did what they wanted, they had a good time and it was all the vibes in the world". It was described by
Clash magazine as a "titanic debut single" with "irresistibly catchy" arrangements that allows each member of the group to introduce themselves, with
Wonderland billing it a "pulsating
electropop anthem". Its lyrical content centers around falling in love with someone on a night out and kissing them on a night bus. The second song, "Real Friends", was produced by
John Ryan and
Mattias Larsson.
NME described it an electropop song and a "swaggering and empowered anthem". "Ponytail" explores moving on from a past relationship, while the closing track, "Silly Boy", was written as a response to men who
catcall women. The idea for the track came to Miller and Bordoni whilst in an
Uber. When they had to take a taxi since
Transport for London was not working, they drove past a group of football fans who catcalled the group. Bordoni suggested using a whistle for the song's motif and they developed it five months later with
Upsahl at a songwriting camp in
Stockholm. ==Promotion==
