What’s your favorite memory from putting together Blame My Ex?
JORDAN MILLER: I really enjoyed the dance party sessions we would have whenever we finished a song. It’s a nice way to end the day. I think it’s important to celebrate your accomplishments as they come to fruition.
Since Blame My Ex is a heartbreak album, what’s the best remedy for a broken heart?
JM: I feel like there’s no one way to go about healing a broken heart. Here’s what I did to help get over my break up…
Write songs about how your feeling
Spend time alone. Get reacquainted with yourself. Do things that YOU love doing alone.
Also spend time with your girlfriends.
Go on an adventure by yourself - I went to visit a friend in London.
Cry. Eventually you’ll stop wanting to.

The girls working out the chords together for Shower Beer. It’s sweet watching them help each other out until they’re happy with the part.
Eliza discussing drum parts with our producer Gus. He’s the best and we love him so much!
What’s your favorite lyric on the album?
JM: Alphabet soup spelt you’re a fool but I still ate it all the same — ”Shower Beer”
How do you deal with self doubt?
JM: try to acknowledge it. Sometimes it’s important to say I’m scared, or I don’t know if I’m good enough —but regardless I’m gonna try my best anyway.
If you could give past you any advice about anything, what would you tell her?
JM: Don’t smoke.
