It is not clear if the audio is for the album but the clip does come after Finn Keane, a producer who worked on Brat, gave an update on the record’s progress on September 29. Speaking to Music News at the BMI London Awards, he said: “We’re kinda deep in it now, and I think it’s gonna be really amazing… It feels really different and fresh at the moment.”
