We were still writing remotely, and I was like "Should I change the lyrics to a lot of these songs so that it's more reflective of what we're probably going to put out in the near future, or should I just keep the older lyrics that have nothing to do with the pandemic?"... I think I needed to use the lyrical aspect of this record as a therapeutic mechanism, which is what I use art for. I was just like "You know what? I'm just gonna keep them. I'm gonna do my past self that service."
—Frontwoman Marissa Paternoster on writing the music for Desire Pathway during the COVID-19 pandemic
Desire Pathway is the eighth and final studio album by American punk blues band Screaming Females.
