That one was in Dubai. I was just chilling in the house. I wanted to make a very mainstream pop song because I’m very deeply rooted in pop music. Like, I love pop music, but
the weird type of pop. The type of pop where they just come out and sing about their life. “Murvlana” is very much in that realm, and then I mixed it a little because
Santigold taught me how to sing like that. It’s a mixture of R&B and indie but at the same time, the whole of Mandy came from a very pure place. Every song I was making then
came from my heart. (At that time) Tay and I hadn’t made a song in three years, so I knew that I needed to tap in. When I made “Murvlana,” I was just like, “This is Tay”
because every song Tay and I have made is incredible. I sent it to Tay, he sent it back, and history.
