I Could Be a Florist

The musical piece *I Could Be a Florist* by Olivia Dean, with its duration of just one minute and twenty-one seconds, presents itself as a sonic snapshot that invites reflection on life's possibilities. The composition, born from the collaboration between Bastian Langebæk, Britten Newbill, Max Wolfgang, and Dean herself, was recorded with engineering by Max Wolfgang and mixing by Nathan Boddy, under the production of Wolfgang.

This song is part of *Messy*, the British artist's first studio album, released on June 30, 2023, via EMI Records. The record received a notable reception, reaching fourth place on the UK Albums Chart and earning a silver certification from the British Phonographic Industry. *Messy* was also considered for the Mercury Prize in 2023. The album's concept, originally conceived as *Between Islands* to honor her mixed heritage, mutated to *Messy* during its creation, seeking to capture the raw and messy reality of early adulthood. This unfiltered honesty approach seems to resonate in the conciseness and atmosphere of *I Could Be a Florist*.
