We just heard the song and we were like, “This is incredible.” When it first got to us, it was a little left field of what we’re used to - it’s very in-your-face happy. The three main writers and producers on “Clean” are Ingrid Andress, AJ Prius and Derek Sutherland. And then, “Queen of the Night” and “Clean” were pitched to us by other writers. And then, we released “Close My Eyes,” which I wrote a lot of the lyrics to. “Better By Myself” was the first song that we released which I wrote most of the lyrics to. We took the thought and made it a little literal.

It was just supposed to be my little world, where I’m cleaning off in the bathtub. Nia showed me this photo of her in the bathtub of this little pink room and that was the huge inspiration for the claymation Casey and I did. There’s this page and it had this picture of Jayne Mansfield and her Pink Palace, this 40-room mansion. It was so meticulous. As far as the DIY aesthetic, we got some inspiration from Instagram. Casey and I took the reins on this one and it’s really exciting what came out. We’ve always loved being really hands-on with whatever we’re part of. Watch the “Clean” video below - premiering exclusively on Billboard - along with our recent conversation with Rena Loevlis on life after From The Outside.
