Composition

In discussing Mint , Merton described the album as a series of reminders to live without fear and to embrace the idea that home is not tied to one place. These themes are reflected in "Why So Serious", where she sings, "With every mistake there comes a lesson learned / So someone tell me / Why so serious? / Why are we so serious?" [3]
