Everything is Fine (I’m Only on Fire) leaves no truth untold. Elaborating on her intentions behind the album, Anna says,
"Everything Is Fine (I’m Only on Fire) is made up of bits and pieces of my diary over the past two weird years. It’s about a fascination with self destruction but also redemption. It’s about forgiving yourself when you have every reason to hate yourself. It’s about falling in love when you have every reason not to trust. This album is a destruction fantasy. It’s about burning down expectations until the only thing left is you."
The album puts Anna Shoemaker’s superb abilities on full display. She is entering a new era of her artistry, with a more mature and intentional sound than ever seen before. "Everything Is Fine (I’m Only on Fire) is packed full of catchy pop hooks which are on par with the radio hits of today in addition to quick-witted lyricism that cuts deep. Each and every song features brutally honest words and introspective themes, reflecting on love, loss, toxicity, heartbreak and mental health. The album acknowledges a plethora of emotions with up-beat tracks such as “Sick” which fit perfectly on your hype playlists, and passionate ballads such as “Long Drive Home” which show the artist’s willingness to offer full vulnerability in her songwriting. The LP record includes previously released singles “Sick,” “Its Depression,” “Change My Mind,” “Everything is Fine,” and “Mariah,” alongside brand new tracks as well.
