“Ready Now” was written for the episode “The Invisible Child” from the 2019 animated TV series Moomin Valley, which takes its inspiration from Tove and Lars Jansson’s book and comic series The Moomins.
In a YouTube video dodie made for the song she explained:
I wrote this about a best friend who h...
[Intro]
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
(Hmm), hmm, (hmm), hmm
(Hmm), hmm, (hmm), hmm
[Verse 1]
You saw through me all this time
I'd forgotten people are kind
I was hurting and you knew
So you showed me what to do
You said "I will listen, tell it all
When you're finished we'll talk more"
But I didn't know how, so we took it in turns
To my surprise we found my words
[Pre-Chorus]
(Hmm) Feet firm on the ground
(Hmm) We stood hand in hand
(Hmm) The world seemed to tell me
(Hmm) That I have a plan
(Hmm) Together we sang
[Chorus]
I'm ready now
Oh (hmm) oh oh (hmm)
Oh oh oh (hmm) oh oh (hmm)
[Verse 2]
Something new, something strange
Ten feet taller, I had changed
I believe you, I'm not wrong
Oh, it suits me to feel strong
You said "I will listen, tell me it all
You don't like the ending?
Then we'll find one that's yours"
Oh, how did you know?
That's all we need?
A promise of hope
Is enough to feel free
[Pre-Chorus]
(Hmm) Feet firm on the ground
(Hmm) We stood hand in hand
(Hmm) And I told the world
(Hmm) That I have a plan
(Hmm) Together we sang
[Chorus]
I'm ready now
Oh (hmm) oh oh (hmm)
Oh oh oh (hmm) oh oh (hmm)
Oh (hmm) oh oh (hmm)
Oh oh oh (hmm) oh oh (hmm)

In the introduction of her April 29, 2019 YouTube video dodie wrote of the song:
This is a song I wrote for the new Moomin Valley series! (It has a long intro because I wrote it to fit a scene and it needed a bit of wiggle room)
It was written for the episode; “The Invisible Child” (one of my fave...
