In a press release about the song, the band stated the following surrounding the release of the EP:

“Maya started writing this new EP as soon as the pandemic hit. I feel like we really embodied all of the emotions in the music & lyrics. Even with 6 songs. I feel it's a great introduction to those that have never heard of us.”

In regards to the single, “Sangrando”, the band commented:

“Sangrando translates to the word Bleeding. For every inch gained there has been a sacrifice. Nothing has ever been handed to us. Sometimes you’ll bleed in an attempt to persevere. That has never discouraged us from our mission.”

Additionally, the band released a new live video for “Sangrando” today via No Echo.
