Katie had previously been married to world superbike race James Toseland for eight years before the pair went their separate ways in 2020.

Speaking to The Independent about her tunes following her split, she revealed: "I had a beautiful marriage so these songs about readjusting our attitudes to love aren’t angry or bitter.

"The hope is that if we take the pressure off, we can learn to be more accepting of ourselves and each other."

And she has also previously admitted at the time that she regretted singing about unrealistic portrayals or romantic love in some of her earlier work.

During an interview, she said: "I've been guilty of singing about romantic love as though it's all meant to last for ever. But it's not. And it's OK that it's not."
