On “Stop Calling The Police On Me,” Serena Isioma explained,
“‘Stop Calling The Police On Me’ is about searching for peace outside of the society that doesn’t understand you. There was a heavy police presence in my household growing up. It was very toxic. Eventually, I stopped coming home altogether. I was much happier hanging out with my friends.”
