The album is a bit abstract, but it's also about the way we communicate with the body. And it's a lot about desire as well and pursuing desire and the effects of pursuing desire and societal norms around pursuing desire. So I think when I'm saying I have the devil in my body, what I'm saying is I want to communicate my desire through my body. And I don't care if that goes against certain social grain or whatever.

Reception

Editors at AllMusic rated this album 4 out of 5 stars, with critic Tim Sendra writing that "Anwandter pulls off a neat trick on" this album by "meld[ing] classic sounds from multiple genres and eras into a thoroughly updated take on pop music that's inclusive and just the right mix of sleek and heartfelt".[4] Editors at AllMusic included this on their list of favorite pop albums of 2023, writing that "elements of disco, '80s pop and soft rock, along with a very 2020s anything-goes sonic approach, combine for a thrilling, emotion-packed listening experience".[5] Critics at NPR's All Songs Considered included this on their long list of the best albums of the week.[6] Editors at Teen Vogue included this among the 15 best non-English albums of the year, calling it "the perfect LGBTQ+ disco night soundtrack".[3]
