“I created ‘Small Talk’ in my longing to have more than a fleeting 5-minute conversation with my crush every time he would come over” Kayla reflects on the inspiration behind the song. “My imagination ran wild and I found myself aching for something like a John Hughes romance movie about a secret love, complete with a boombox outside my window and a mixtape of his favorite songs. After rewatching every romance movie I could find, I decided that instead of torturing myself, I should write this song in an attempt to pour my heart out and make sense of my desire for something more than small talk.”
