“AFTERCARE” serves as the introduction to Nessa Barrett’s sophomore album, also titled AFTERCARE. On the 1 minute 34 second intro, Barrett can be found desperately hoping that her partner will stay after sex, and wanting them to make a promise of their commitment to her.

But will you stay when it ends?
Promise me that you'll be there
After, aftercare
Promise me that you'll be there
After, aftercare

‘AFTERCARE’ is like this intro and it was really inspired by trailer music. I feel like the whole project is very cinematic and so I really wanted something that kind of introduces the entire album and gets you excited and takes you into the world of it.
