“Different Now” is a cover of the Chastity Belt’s song of the same name. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Chastity Belt’s 2013 debut, No Regerts, Suicide Squeeze Records invited Barnett to cover a track from their 2017 album, I Used To Spend So Much Time Alone.
[Verse 1]
You're hard on yourself
Well, you can't always be right
All those little things that keep you up at night
You should take some time to figure out your life
But you're stuck indoors and thinking poorly
[Verse 2]

And you try and you try and you try and you try
Different Now was written by Annie Truscott & Gretchen Grimm & Julia Shapiro & Lydia Lund.
