Speaking about ‘Introvert Hotline’, Ego Ella May explains “This is a song produced by Lvther, we wrote it the first day we met. He made this beat with the telephone ringing in the beginning, and so I wrote about how much I hate when my phone rings! Typical introvert. Meeting someone new is often hard for me because I have to explain early on that I don't really like phone calls, meaning I require a different means of communication”.
