Track 3: English Teacher - R&B

"[The song] is about the cyclical, productivity-diminishing paradox of low self-esteem and imposter syndrome-induced writer's block that then fuels low self-esteem and imposter syndrome. It's also about racial identity and putting the love that you have to offer a potential romantic partner back into yourself." - English Teacher, Band.
