"I didn't ever feel before I had the courage to say that, and it was something that I knew for decades, but I think it was just the timing of: I'm in a space to say this without anything really getting misconstrued, and it's Pride Month,"

The singer stated that she had felt comfortable in herself, enough to write a song like Push Me Over and that writing the song gave her "the little shot of courage" she needed.

Moreover, The Middle singer also talked about working with MUNA, given she teased working with the pop trio in May 2024. Calling it the "perfect group of people to write that song with," Morris said that she had been a fan of MUNA for long. She called the pop trio's member Naomi McPherson "an incredible producer" and mentioned that collaborating with MUNA allowed her to "freak out over each other's talents".

Telling the publication about the time she recorded the song with MUNA, Maren Morris mentioned:

"It was just such an easy day. You don't always get those. It just came together so perfectly, it's almost suspiciously easy. It was really fun to connect with them through that lens, and I'm so excited that they're on this project."

According to PEOPLE, Maren Morris called the support of her fans after her coming out as bisexual "really encouraging and obviously so nice". She mentioned that she could've said a lot of things that could be polarizing but her Instagram post just felt like:

"if it connects with somebody or feels like they feel a little bit braver, knowing artists that they admire or love is too, that's obviously an amazing byproduct of being honest with yourself."

The singer also mentioned that she doesn't know if many people were surprised by her announcement.
