Speaking about it, the band said: "'Bertha' is about our friend’s car, it’s a little blue Ford Fiesta that we drove about North Yorkshire to go to friends’ houses or parties and everything in between.
Charlie came up with the guitar riff and some sort of chord progression and then Aneela fitted some lyrics. Then Charlie made a demo and the whole band started adding to that then we took it to Young Thugs in York and did it properly.
Honestly, the topic came from another band ‘The Chalets’ which Charlie is a part of and we thought every band should write a song about this car as it’s really the object that supported our happiness last year when the world seemed to stop.
It is a song we feel is heading in our own direction finally after a year of trying to make original music and expresses part of us and the topics we want to get out through our music."
FFO: Slowdive, BDRMM, My Bloody Valentine, The Cure, The Smiths, Nirvana
