ATTENTION: PLEASE DO NOT EDIT UNLESS YOU ARE GIVEN EXPLICIT PERMISSION FROM MIXIE.BAUM! Thank you :)

Boxed In is Rochelle The Rät's first EP that comes after The Restless Birth single. The EP was released under Crayongular Records and was produced by CR's Sofía Garcia. Each song has a music video which are all directed by Sylvie Moulin. Elodie Dupont and Dimitri Popov designed each set for the music videos. The costume designs were made by Julius Cellier and Romilly Laurent along with the makeup for some music videos. The promotional single is Bratty Dollie. In an interview at the beginning of 2020 they revealed the meanings of each song.

Bratty Dollie- "Bratty Dollie is about the whole unrealistic expectations of females and feminine people as a whole. It's basically about stereotypes and how stupid people have become over the years."

Masked Up- "The song is about fake friends and you know how some people put on a 'different face' or a false personality for every different person or just for you-my 'friends' were like that and that's basically what the song is about. Fake friends can be hard to spot especially when they put on that one 'face' every time your around."

Unbalanced- "Unbalanced is about things that aren't balanced (laughs) obviously. It about like, unbalanced treatment, unfairness in society with the way certain people are treated. Like, for their gender, race, sexuality, height and just them as a whole. It's mainly based around criticism towards someone under a certain 'label'. It has a lot to do with misogyny which we see sadly a lot of nowadays...that might just be me though, I tend to look at the tiny details more than the bigger picture."

Stuck- "Stuck is about being stuck in a situation where everyone around you seems to disapprove and criticise what you're doing- like, your personal creativity, the way you present yourself, how everyone sees you. It's about being judged and bullied for your looks and your personality and feeling stuck, feeling like no matter what you do people around you will disapprove."

Unavailing- "Unavailing is centered around a useless romance between my character Rät and the character called Ace. It's a pretty meaningless relationship where Rät puts in all the effort but doesn't get much in return while Ace is busy having flings with other people behind their back. Ace is the type of guy to invest in short meaningless relationships...and if the other person doesn't want the same, well, their left in ruins, which is what happens to Rät in the next song."

Bits and Pieces- "Basically Rät is left in a ditch. Their sad and their just starting to realise what was happening the whole time and that Ace never wanted a long-lasting relationship to begin with. Rät is left trying to pick up the pieces and try and possibly restart the relationship and give Ace a second chance. Which Rät never should have even considered to begin with since it just leaves them in a worse state. Rät is very naive and doesn't realise that the relationship is unfixable and not worth wasting time and effort on."

Empty Corpse- "Empty Corpse is about the state Rät is left in, in which they eventually give up on the relationship with Ace and attempt to move on. Rät is too naive and broken to do much. Their kind of just reflecting on the past occurrences. Their in a state between life and death where they are reflecting on life and waiting for a new beginning."

Rochelle also mentioned their upcoming album in the interview and their plans for it. "I have plans for another project. I plan to make my first album within this year and next year. I already have the ideas for it...I just need to create and record it. I don't want to reveal much but the album is going to have a slightly evolved version of Rät. Hopefully I can finish it within next year...I have so much planned for it!"
