“Pretty, Dirty” is a southern rock and soul (motown, stax records) inspired song. As with the single “Thats Not Me” it was released individually due to it not fitting on the album they were working on.

Originally this surfaced as a demo recorded by guitarist Mikey Krause from September of 2019. The demo had Mikey playing all the instruments. After the “What’ve We Done?” album, upon working on new material Liam had recalled that demo. The demo had a similar feel to “Unspoken” which was a favorite of the bands.

The only thing not written by Mikey was the bridge, which Liam wrote the music and lyrics to, in order to add a climax to the song.

Mikey describes the song as being a love song, with obvious themes of heartbreak.
