Chicago artist Sen Morimoto said in a statement about "The Things I Thought About You Started To Rhyme": “The off-kilter, odd meter and hazy instrumentation were produced with the intention of embodying the space between our mental and physical realities.” “I have always been extremely superstitious, the idea of jinxing something you’re hoping for, or fear of loss due to lack of gratitude have paralyzed me at times growing up. The lyrics to this song tell a story by exposing the kinds of thoughts I believe we all have but don’t share, the fantastical, neurotic, and superstitious thoughts that make us fear things we can’t predict and look for meaning in unrelated occurrences. I think by talking about what worries you, you can remove its power, and in making this song I believe I’ve let go of some of that anxiety.”
