This stand-alone single from the Canadian artist marks the first original music released under her full name. It also follows Salmena and her longtime collaborator and producer Duncan Hay Jennings's departure from Orville Peck's band.

“Bending Over Backwards” is a hazy, euphoric song with a pulsing trance-like beat and anthemic chorus, showcasing Salmena’s range as a vocalist. “It's about some crazy life experiences that I've had in the past four years and the work that it takes to go into chaos and come out of it,” she says. Describing the song as “a manic conversation with myself,” Salmena developed different vocal styles for the different parts, pushing herself to sing in an uncomfortable falsetto for the verses, demonstrating her heartfelt desire to embrace change and discomfort in pursuit of artistic authenticity.
