Background and release
editFlorrie announced via her social media that ahead of her debut album releasing on 2024, she would drop a compilation album that would include all her stand-alone singles released previously (with the exception of her 2020 single "Butterflies"), as she was ready to start a new chapter on her musical career.[4]
Music videos were released for the singles "Borderline"[5] and "Communicate".[6] 'Borderline' was featured on the fifteen season of ABC hit medical drama series "Grey's Anatomy" on a crossover episode with the series "Station 19", in the episode "What I Did For Love".[7] Meanwhile, the title track, "Personal" was played for the first time by Mollie King on BBC Radio 1 on 14 December 2023.[8]
Reception
editReviewing the title track which was released the same day as the compilation, Jason Lipshutz from Billboard Magazine said that Florrie "has provided a stocking stuffer for longtime fans with “Personal,” a deeply felt account of a dissolving relationship that still finds the strength to be molded into uplifting indie-pop", as well pointing out that Arnold "sounds assured in her craft and radiant in her delivery."[9]
