In this episode of The Hardest Part, Kieron Banerji sits down with Lily Moore to break down the making of “Grown Up Girl Regrets” and why it became one of the most important songs she has ever written. Written during her first studio session after lockdown, the song emerged from a period of uncertainty, isolation, and emotional exhaustion. Walking back into a writing room for the first time in months, Lily found herself confronting feelings she had spent years avoiding in her songwriting.
Kieron and Lily explore the difference between songs that slowly evolve over years and songs that appear almost fully formed, arriving exactly when they are needed most. For Lily, “Grown Up Girl Regrets” was the latter: chaotic, immediate, and deeply personal.
