Scar (song)

Following the song’s 4th place on the Triple J Hottest 100 of Australian Songs, Higgins shared that the song was written as a response to negative experiences she had had with collaborators in the music industry. It was the song I wrote when I was 19 about some bad experiences I had with different people I was collaborating with, who were trying to make my music into something else. And trying to make me sound a certain way and appear a certain way, and just people in the industry that I'd come across that were, you know, trying to squeeze a triangle through a circle or whatever it is I say. So, you know, it's a song about staying true to who you are and not letting anyone else, you know, pretend that they know what's best for you. ==Awards and nominations==
