" i never said i was alright, just thought i could hold myself together"

The three became close and shared their frustrations of constantly being compared to each other as "women in rock" despite their considerably different musical styles.[13] Dacus has commented that the idea of women in music "should not be remarkable whatsoever," with Bridgers adding, "it's not a genre." Each has spoken on the tendency of the music industry to pit women against each other, and the group was formed in part to reject this idea. "I hope people see the three of us and know there isn't competition," Dacus has said. "You don't have to compete with your contemporaries. You can make something good with people you admire." Baker had joked to Dacus years before about a "pipe dream" that they could one day all form a band. The three decided to book a co-headlining tour in early 2018.
