Like falling in love, break-ups start slowly and then happen all at once. For Jade Bird, the 
end of her relationship gathered pace and crashed into reality in 2022, resulting in the
beautifully temperate single, Burn The Hard Drive. 

Bird had already begun working with the celebrated Grammy-nominated producer and songwriter Alex Crossan, known better as Mura Masa, and During one of the last writing sessions before the break-up, she wrote “Burn The Hard Drive”, a sultry, sorrowful song. 
“There’s no good goodbye, no right way to die,” she sings on the chorus before offering a digital Eternal Sunshine solution of destroying all evidence of a relationship. “I listened back to it with Alex and was like, ‘Oh my god this is a premonition of ending my relationship’.” 

Writing has always been a way to talk things through with herself. “I think that was me 
getting it out on paper, getting it out through music and telling myself the things I couldn’t do 
in a more matter of fact way.” With Cossen’s help, she interrogated the emotions the song 
had thrown up, feeling her way through the memories of times when she didn’t have a voice 
to express what she’d been feeling during the dying days of an intense relationship.
