Abi Muir’s debut EP To You is the result of a distinctive collaboration between the then 17-year-old pop artist and members of progressive rock/post-hardcore band, Forest. Written and recorded during her final years of high school in a self-built vocal booth in her parents’ garage, the project blends pop sensibilities with the instrumental complexity of progressive rock. With support from a Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) grant, Abi brought the five-track EP to life alongside David D’Amore (drums), Peter Bullis (keys), Kyle Rohan (guitar and bass) and guest artist Anita Wachtler (cello). “It was definitely a challenge to pop-ify them,” Abi recalls, “but we found a creative and unique sound that highlights drums, keys, and strings alongside my vocals.” Designed to be experienced in sequence, To You takes listeners on an empath’s journey through the emotional rollercoaster of adolescence.

I Forgot About Me - feels like a quiet confession of loving someone so deeply that it slowly erases your sense of self. The lyrics carry a mix of devotion, fragility, and a kind of sad self-awareness, like she knows what she’s doing to herself, but can’t stop.
At the core, the song is about self-sacrificing love taken too far.
The opening lines (“I’d give all my weapons… I’d give up my lungs…”) show an extreme willingness to give everything, even survival, just to protect or sustain the other person. It’s not just romantic; it borders on losing boundaries entirely. Love here isn’t balanced, it’s consuming.
There’s also a strong sense of loneliness and internal heaviness. Lines about walking home, counting steps, watching trees, and grey skies paint a picture of someone living in their own head. These quiet, almost mundane moments contrast with the intensity of her feelings, suggesting she’s alone with thoughts that revolve entirely around this person.
The chorus idea, “maybe I’m so in love that I forgot about me”, is the emotional centre. It captures that moment when love shifts from something beautiful into something identity-erasing. She’s not just loving someone; she’s disappearing into them.
There’s also a subtle thread of uncertainty and self-doubt. She questions whether the love is mutual, real, or something she’s partly imagined. That makes the vulnerability even deeper, she’s giving everything without being sure it’s truly reciprocated.
By the end, the tone becomes more resigned than hopeful. She recognises the imbalance (“I always put you first… it’s not how it’s meant to work”), but accepts it anyway: “that’s how it works for me.” That line hits hard - it shows a pattern, not just a one-time mistake.
I Forgot About Me is the kind of song that captures what it feels like to love someone so much that you slowly disappear - and even when you realise it, you’re not ready to let go.
Let You In (Again)” is about what it feels like when someone comes into your life and completely shifts your world.
It’s that moment where everything that once felt dull or heavy suddenly has colour again. For me, I describe that feeling as “yellow” - like warmth, light, and hope, especially when you’ve been stuck in a kind of emotional grey for a long time. That person becomes comfort. They feel like home. They make you want to try, even if you’re not someone who usually does.
But the song isn’t just about the beauty of that connection, it’s also about how intense and vulnerable it can be. There’s this underlying fear of losing something that means so much to you. When someone changes you in such a deep way, it’s hard to imagine going back to who you were before them. That’s where lines like “I would tear apart my skin to try and let you in again” come from - it’s not literal, it’s that desperate feeling of wanting to stay open, to not shut down, and to hold onto that closeness no matter what.
It also touches on the idea of devotion - how love can feel protective, grounding, and almost all-consuming at times. Like you’d do anything to keep that person safe, because they’ve become such an important part of your world.
At its heart, this song is about letting someone in, even when it’s scary… and what it means when they become a part of you. It’s about letting someone break through your emotional walls, becoming your “home,” and the overwhelming fear and devotion that comes with needing them to stay.
