**关于未发行新歌「Out of Nowhere｣🧐

这首歌似乎是The Secret of Us豪华版中最后一首曲目Packing It Up的续篇。在Packing It Up那首歌里，Gracie描述了一段在她几乎完全放弃爱情、毫无预期时突如其来的感情：

I swear that I wasn’t looking for much
But that’s just when you happened
That’s right when you happened
Got so damn close to packing it up
But that’s just when you happened
And then you happened

而在Out of Nowhere中，这段关系变得更加认真，同时也受到了更多外界关注（“Everyone’s watching us”），这也进一步印证了这两首歌都可能是在讲述Gracie与演员Paul Mescal的恋情。

在这种语境下，歌词中的“her”（如“Drown her out”和“You and me and her collide”里）很可能指的是Mescal的前任，也就是Gracie同为Eras Tour开场嘉宾的Phoebe Bridgers。Gracie 一方面不愿意去想、也不希望自己和他那段众所周知的过去有所牵连（“I don’t wanna know who you were before me / Severing the cord, nullify the story / Burn it to the ground, drown her out, take me now / Cataclysmic thoughts with your thumb in my mouth”），但另一方面又矛盾地幻想自己也成为那段故事的一部分：

Favorite thing to fantasize
You and me and her collide
Kinda hot but kinda terrifying
Just my luck, everyone’s watching us
