Following on from “Did It To Myself”, released in September 2019, “Figure It Out” is the second single from Orla’s 2020 EP Freckle Season.
Throughout the track, Orla sings of the awkwardness that occurs when an ex makes contact after the break-up, inspired by her own experiences with an ex-boyfriend. In celebration of “Figure It Out” released in the United Kingdom, Orla went live on Instagram, commenting:
“It feels like it has a real bite to it, it feels like the feeling that I felt when I wrote it.“
“I wrote “Figure It Out” about desperately needing space–about asking for it, about being ignored and hoping the other person would eventually read between the lines. The verses detail the frustration of us politely circling around one another in the aftermath of the breakup, seeing each other at a New Year’s party, making conversation here and there… and then the tension builds towards the chorus and I just lose it. I felt angry one second and calm the next. I wanted the contrast in emotion between these two parts of the song to feel like night and day.“
