Following her 2021 albums Kids and Kids (Against the Machine), Noga Erez is keeping busy. She recently shared a cover of Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow's "Industry Baby," and returned today with a cover of Anderson .Paak's "Who R U?" from his 2018 release Oxnard. The cover is part of her collaboration with Sounds of Saving and their series "Song That Found Me at the Right Time." SoS also shared a video of Erez discussing the importance of understanding and nurturing one's mental health, where she opens up about a difficult relationship from her past.
"It met me at a time where I was really struggling with anxiety," she explained later in the video about choosing "Who R U?" to cover. "So I went to therapy and the therapist told me one of the ways in which you can control anxiety is you can walk around the room and just gibber something. It kind of helps you control your air. I would do that for a while. At some point it started to make me feel like I'm getting bored or make me feel like I'm crazy. Then I realized there are so many different rap songs that I know, or that I can learn, in order to replace that gibberish. One of the first that I went to was 'Who R U?' That was something I did for a while every time that I felt a bit weak and a bit afraid of the world."
