  • 33-year-old Cara Delevingne said her first two songs, "I Forgot" and "Out of My Head," were shaped by sobriety and the mental health struggles she has faced.
  • "Out of My Head" grew out of her first year sober, she told BBC Radio 1, describing internal conflict, dissociation and overthinking that led to the chorus change.
  • "I Forgot" was written to capture how raw mental health can feel and to give her a healthier outlet for anger and emotion than she had found before.
  • Last Friday's release marks a music debut for the model and actor, who said she wanted listeners to hear her as a flawed person using music to connect through pain.
  • A 7-minute video directed by Jessica Lee Gagné, a lead cinematographer on "Severance," pairs the tracks with cinematic scenes spanning a film set, forest and office.
