And Kate Barlow is so cool.

She, just to remind you all, she has, she wears red lipstick.

She's such a cool character.

And the story of the song also goes back to, I was actually scrolling on my phone, I saw something in my feed that I was questioning a little bit.

It was someone talking about the adulterous woman.

It took a passage from the Bible, from Proverbs, and I thought, "Well, that doesn't necessarily sound like an adulterous woman.

This sounds like someone that I would wanna be, this sounds like someone cool, like Kissin' Kate Barlow."

So I went to that exact verse in the Bible, it's in Proverbs, I think, and I kind of reworked some of the lyrics from that verse to kind of uphold a woman, a character, Kissin' Kate Barlow in this example, in a more positive light as a more fully fledged developed character than just the adulterous woman that this person on social media was making people out to be.

It kind of shows that there's lots of angles to people.
