The EP's tracklist includes:

Created in collaboration with Spencer Hattendorf, Nate Mondschein, and Fran Litterski, the EP features thoughtful songwriting that addresses mental health, heartbreak, and personal transformation. "Light Sleeper," the opening track, inspired the EP's title and represents MacArthur's journey through a challenging period of self-discovery.
