“‘Space’ was inspired by the idea of entering a space, such as the Dominican Republic, that isn’t your own. The same thing can happen with a relationship—you can enter someone’s space when they let you inside it, or sometimes you can force your way in, either on purpose or not. ‘Space’ is written from the perspective of someone who has the privilege of overpowering a foreign space, and hopefully the song touches upon what it means to be an outsider taking over.”—Lexi Riesenberg

“Space” was inspired by the Americas Scholars’ 2019 trip to the Dominican Republic.
