On the poetry behind the new single, Browne shares, “If We Praise, is a healing litany. It is meant to call in ghosts and clear out the haunt. All the heavy is lifted in the declaration "We are beautiful" —which is to say, despite all the attempts to destroy, oppress, and commodify our blackness, we remain.” “I keenly noticed the line "we are beautiful" after discovering that it was tucked right near the end of the poem,” Mason reflects on building the track from Browne’s words. "I felt it was the perfect way to introduce the conclusion of the album, recognizing and celebrating our beauty. So, I decided that it should be the overarching theme of the song and the album."
