Paxton discusses creative process and challenges faced when creating Touch & Go

Paxton was involved in the production of Touch & Go. Speaking about the studio session, the talented singer stated that she had no problems writing the song because she did it spontaneously with her friends, who are also musicians.

"We met up with no intention of working or creating; we were catching up and checking in with each other as the pandemic hit our industry pretty hard.

"The producer played some of his tracks, and we immediately loved one of the beats. We felt so inspired that we started writing and coming up with melodies; we recorded and finished the song in about two to three hours. That’s basically how 'Touch & Go' was born!"

Paxton hopes Touch & Go's message will inspire her youthful audience to be better people

Touch & Go, according to Paxton, is a song about how complicated relationships can be in your early twenties. Everyone wants to date and grow with their significant other, but only a few are prepared to put in the effort to make it work.

The star said she hopes the song's message will resonate with her followers and that they will apply it to their own lives.

"I would hope that I am worthy of the space I take up in their lives too. If we outgrow each other/the relationship and no longer align, that’s okay! It’s part of learning, growing, self-development and life!

"I would always want the best for someone, even if I’m not in it. I think I’m at a space now where I know how much I bring to the table, and I won’t settle for any less than that.
