Renforshort says of the track: "afterthoughts is a really different song for me, it follows a way different narrative than most of my other songs and allowed me to be more vulnerable than I have been in the past while making music. Immediately after I watched Clouds for the first time I was filled with emotion and all these thoughts were going through my head. It’s a very emotional movie, it touches on love romantically and familial, health, and fulfilling your life and achieving your dreams. These are all things that I believe the average person thinks or has at least thought about before, I think of these things all the time and expressing them is hard, that’s a big reason why I was so stoked to be a part of this, I feel like it gave me many opportunities to explore other topics that I haven’t before. This song is basically a stream of consciousness and the things that keep me up at night, they're the things that worry me and make me happy. Overall, writing this song was so different than anything I’ve done before, especially after learning Zach Sobiech’s story and learning about his life, it really influenced this song and the content of it."
The new song follows on from Ren's recent single 'nostalgic (luvsick)', which was lauded by NME, The Line Of Best Fit and Coup De Main, and added to full rotation at triple j.
ABOUT RENFORSHORT
Hailing from Toronto, the prodigious 18-year-old singer-songwriter has created a repertoire of über–popular songs in a relatively short period of time with her signature brand of deeply reflective, yet undeniably relatable, alt-pop. Following a couple of independently released singles in 2019, the emerging artist signed with Interscope Records and released her debut EP teenage angst on March, 13 2020. Her music has been praised by the likes of Rolling Stone, TIME, V Magazine, Billboard, Paper, NME, American Songwriter, Interview Magazine and more. renforshort also caught the ear of Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda, who notably remixed “i drive me mad” off her EP. The rising star is now expected to drop a series of new singles throughout the year that she has been working on, as she continues to polish her ever-evolving sound. She gave fans the first taste of new music with “fuck, i luv my friends” in July, which has amassed over 2 million global streams to date, followed by the ethereal “nostalgic (luvsick).”
