If Not Now It’s Soon was partly inspired by Taylor’s years before her rise to fame – a time of hypersexuality, booze and self-destruction that precipitated the creation of Self Esteem. “You wonder who it was who made the choices in that town”, she sings, questioning her treatment of herself, while actress – and friend – Julie Hesmondalgh gives a call to arms: “Something will happen because it’s got to – it’s not just perseverance we need, it’s patience.”

It is about marrying the two things, Taylor explains: “Personally, you have to wait and one day you’ll get somewhere less painful. But the world will hopefully get somewhere less painful too. It’s about hope, perseverance and patience!”

If Not Now It’s Soon is the third song to be lifted from Self Esteem’s eagerly anticipated new album A Complicated Woman, due for release 25 April via Polydor Records. The album is the follow up to the hugely acclaimed BRIT and Mercury Prize-nominated 2021 album Prioritise Pleasure – an album of the year everywhere from the Guardian to the Sunday Times.
