Background
edit"What You're Made Of" was written by Stirling, alongside RuthAnne, Wendy Wang and producer Gladius for the second anniversary for Global or English version of mobile video game Azur Lane.[1]
Stirling wrote the song at an all female SheWrites writing camp. Speaking about the song in the official press release, she said:
"I’ve always loved anime art and I was ecstatic when I got to write a song for an anime game that revolved around female empowerment. It was also perfect because I wrote this song at an all-female writing camp. It’s about how even when you feel broken, you are so incredibly powerful. It’s in the moments of near defeat that you chart your truest fate because the way you react when you’re at the bottom really shows what you’re made of."[2]
Kiesza was brought onto the project for guest lyrics. She would later join Stirling's Artemis World Tour as a guest performer.[3]
