Speaking on the story behind the EP, renforshort shares, a girl’s experience is a project about exactly what the title infers. It’s not about a specific experience, it’s about the uniqueness of every person and how, with that individuality, there are always things that bring us together and allow us to understand each other through shared experiences. I wrote this project when I was feeling very unsure, confused, and frankly unsettled with my life. I think writing this project forced me to disconnect from those thoughts. I wanted to step outside of my head for a bit every day and make music that explained how I felt without harping on it. I love the duality of some of the songs on the project, like “feeling good” and “pretend to like me.”
She adds, “The lyrics are quite melancholic and reflective; however, the music feels like a juxtaposition of the content of the song. They all feel like songs you can sing with your friends without feeling those things, or you could listen to them alone with headphones on a walk, and really resonate with the lyrics.”

a girl’s experience dives into universal themes of love, self-discovery, independence, and the nuanced highs and lows of navigating life as a young woman. Inspired by ren’s personal experiences, the EP is both intimate and relatable, set to resonate with her youthful audience who are living through many of the same emotional experiences in today’s world.
Romantic and pop-infused while retaining her signature edge, “you’re the one” showcases a more refined, mature sound. It draws from her indie-rock roots but leans into playful, flirty pop sensibilities, marking an evolution in both renforshort’s sound and storytelling.
The new single follows a string of previously released tracks from the project, including “on my way!,” “feeling good,” and “pretend to like me,” each adding a unique chapter to the story. Since the rollout began in late 2024, the EP has garnered praise for its nostalgic yet forward-thinking sound – cementing renforshort’s place as one of alt-pop’s most compelling voices.
a girl’s experience follows her critically acclaimed EP clean hands dirty water and 2022 debut album dear amelia. Building on the foundations of these earlier works, renforshort’s latest project represents a confident step forward, showcasing her growth as a songwriter and her ability to blend emotional honesty with sonic experimentation.
