"Build A Problem is an album of processing. I build problems - I was the problem that was built. It explores my hugest emotions; from the dark depths of bad brain to the giggly, performative nonchalance of feeling broken,"" says Dodie. ""Build A Problem is full of feeling, full of soaring strings, thick harmonies, honesty, vulnerability and therapy."" And on lead single ""Cool Girl"" she adds that it's a ""song about misplaced anger. Stemming from the suppression of communicating your needs in a relationship in order to attempt to be the most chill, cool, and loveable. It's bitter, desperate, frustrated, proud, determined, and unhealthy."
