Background[]
For his first interview done with GRAMMY.com, the interviewer asked a few artists he's worked with (including Allie) to describe him. Allie expressed:[1]
“ | As soon as I had made one song with Oscar, I knew he was very special. I felt that, for the first time, I had a producer who was taking what was special about me as an artist and really translating it into something. He brings a kindness, a knowledge of how to play every instrument prolifically, a sensitivity, a coolness and a confidence that was instrumental in me—for once!—taking a back seat in production. He is certainly one of the best. | ” |

In the same interview, he talked about meeting and working with Allie. He in LA working with Troye Sivan, and one day while at the gym, "Paper Love" came on his Discover Weekly playlist. Troye told him they were friends and invited Allie the next day to a writing session.
Allie then visited Sweden for a week to work with Görres, where they completed three songs "Fresh Laundry", "Rings a Bell", and "Regulars". She then asked him to work on her entire album, which he accepted.
“ | Working with Allie has been very liberating, because she is so in favor of me being creative and trying weird, obscure stuff. She’s willing to stretch things and push a little bit, musically. I come from jazz, with chords and chord progressions and modulations between keys and songs. I felt that this was a way for me to stimulate that side of myself. Sometimes you can feel boxed in. Some pop artists just want to do their thing—and that’s great. Some artists are more open. There’s always a balance between that and what the music needs. I felt, working with Allie, there was more space to evolve these things musically. | ” |
