Background
In an Instagram post announcing Bunny's release date, Dustin Payseur wrote: "This is an album about missing friends, falling in love, embracing your mistakes, being depressed, having fun, absolute freedom, self-medicating, anger, longing, anxiety, self-discovery, being an idiot, hate, friendship, being lazy, being afraid, being naive, ignoring bullshit, trying new things, having regrets, being alive, feeling alone, loss of love, shedding the past, fucking up, healing and new beginnings. Bunny represents strength through vulnerability."
