since it came out i've been obsessed with hit the wall, and seeing the whole process behind it makes the song even more better. i'm so glad we get to see these kinds of bits and pieces of how the whole thing came to be, gracie and aaron are an amazing duo musically. ngl when i first heard daughter from hell i don't think i got it right away, but the more i listen to it the more it grows on me, thanks to gracie, aaron, justin and the whole team for sharing this project!

I’m not trying to be mean. But why does it seem like the industry has been trying to make it seem like her new album is like this amazing album? I love hit the wall. Look at my life is okay. I guess if you like Gracie’s very slow boring songs this is for you. But ugh I could barely get through this album all the way through. Again no hate towards her. But I was hoping for more songs like hit the wall. 🫤

DFH is now on rotation with the rest of Gracie's discography to make up about 85% of my playlist. This is my greatest addiction!
