Family issues and the pandemic forced Choe to step away from music for some time. When she returned, Choe met vibraphonist Yuhan Su and established a strong friendship and musical rapport. The two began meeting on Sundays and holding impromptu sessions to orchestrate a language between their piano and vibes.

The inspiring work with Su began to make Choe consider recording a duo album. Then an old friend, the Berlin-based vocalist Song Yi Jeon, informed Choe that she would soon be coming to New York for some projects. This surprise opportunity sparked Choe to rearrange a number of her pieces for this unique setting of keyboards, vibes, and voice. Once Song Yi did arrive, the trio conducted a handful of rehearsals before they went into the studio at Acoustic Recording in Brooklyn on September 21, 2023.

The pieces that Choe wrote reflect on what it means to be a human in this topsy turvy world and reflects on how Choe herself overcame her own vulnerability through perseverance to find her strength. To tell the story, Choe introduces Margie, an imaginary girl who personifies Choe and her struggles.
