288:"River" was released as the album's first single on January 11, 2019. Of the song, Griffin explained "it's one of the last songs I wrote for this record. We recorded it over about a year's time.

"But when I sit back and I listen back to it and sing it now, I can feel this is sort of an expansive understanding of life. You have this understanding of continuity that grows out of that feeling."

sprout from the moods she sets. And the homey production, achieved with the help of her longtime collaborator and multi-instrumentalist Craig Ross, at least partly stems from the fact that they recorded at her house in Austin".
