Under My Bed (EP)

## Under My Bed

"**Under My Bed**" is the sophomore extended play by American singer Ellise. It was released on October 17th, 2019, as a Halloween special. There were music videos for every song in the EP, however they were deleted from streaming platforms during the first week of July, 2019.

With the purchase of one of the *Under My Bed hoodies*, a digital download of the EP, as well as a bonus track was available.

## Theme

Ellise posted on Twitter about the theme of each track

> *angels don't cry is about loving someone who is unstable or damaged by past trauma- all you want to do is help them and heal them, but you end up losing yourself in the process. you stop caring about your own emotions and wants, and take all of theirs in, constantly feeling the need to bottle your own feelings up because you don't think they can handle it. if you've been through this, you'll know how heavily it weighs down on you. it's a tricky situation and ends up with you feeling emotionally depleted and empty.*

> lullaby is meant to be taken lightly. i had a weird nightmare one night, where i was on a stainless steel table, tied up with a gag in my mouth and random shadow-y figures were operating on me. i wanted to make a song about that but from the opposite perspective. its one of those "take it as it is" songs, using something as sweet as a lullaby and tying it into something darker.

> under my bed is very personal to me. it describes the feelings you go through after leaving a toxic relationship of any kind (love, friendship, family). the memory of that person can haunt you, and for me, it gets worse at night when i'm all alone with nothing but my thoughts. the feeling of not being able to let go of that person- and getting used to your new "normal" after they're out of your life- can be extremely confusing. guilt, depression, anxiety and insomnia can consume you. letting go is a bumpy path, and for me, the past memories holding me back felt like a "monster under my bed" for a long time.

> lilith is a fun female empowerment song in a way. it's meant to be metaphorical for all the things women go through on the daily: sexism, harassment, cat calling, objectification. my "lilith" is a woman who is turning the tables, and takes shit from nobody. she's an independent, strong woman and knows her value. a bad bitch anthem basically.
