Released: January 18, 2019

"**Hindsight 20/20**" is the UPSAHL's debut extended play. It was released on March 8, 2019.

## Background & Composition

In an interview with Substream Magazine, UPSAHL said that when she moved to Los Angeles she would go to writing sessions every day and write a lot of different songs based on how she was feeling that day. She would vent about it with her producers and co-writers becoming like "therapy" to her.

So when she was signed to Arista Records, she had to pick 5 songs to put on the EP, and according to her she had around 200 songs that she wrote that year, so she picked the 5 that she thought best represented her life in the year before. She also wanted every song to represent an aspect of her life that had either stayed the same or changed once she moved to LA. For that reason, she says that Hindsight 20/20 is an EP that feels very "authentic" to that specific year.

## Release & Promotion

Hindsight 20/20 only had one single, Drugs, that was released on January 18, 2019. Following the release of the single, she released a music video and some remixes for the song. It gained some attention on TikTok and is currently UPSAHL's most streamed song.

Almost two months after the release of Drugs, UPSAHL announced on social media on March 6, 2019 that she would be dropping Hindsight 20/20 two days later, on Friday.

## Vignette Videos

UPSAHL on the Vignette Videos: “*Since my debut EP—**Hindsight 20/20**—was written during and about my first year living away from home and in Los Angeles, I wanted to make individual videos to connect with an emotion that each song represents. I then took it a step further and made them intersect like one long day in LA. It’s sort of like an emotional rollercoaster, representing the many trials and tribulations I went through that first year. Meeting rich people that had money to do whatever they wanted, getting frustrated with fake people, being stressed the fuck out, dealing with shitty boys, and finally discovering myself.”*
