You're listening to Song Exploder,
where musicians take apart their songs and piece by piece tell the story of how they were made.
I'm Rishikesh Hirway.
Biba Doobie is an award-winning singer and songwriter from England who's been releasing music
since 2017.
Her third album is called This Is How Tomorrow Moves.
It came out in August 2024, and it went to number one on the UK charts.
She made the album with her bandmate, Jacob Bugden,
and with producer Rick Rubin at his studio Shangri-La in Malibu.
For this episode, I talked to Bea about how they made a song from that album called Coming Home.
This time I won't be late My name's Bea, but my artist name is Bea Badubi.
I was in a hotel called The Thompson.
It's in Hollywood.
And I had like a little break before the next leg of the Eros tour with Taylor Swift.
And I was like on my bed, quite sad.
And not to say that it wasn't really fun playing those shows,
it's just every time I go on tour I get very homesick.
I'd been in that hotel for a couple of days now and I've had very lonely mornings.
I just felt like I really missed my boyfriend.
I think we had just said goodnight, we had a really long conversation.
