Background
editIn 2020, DeMartino revealed that she had signed with Roc Nation for music management and that she was working on her debut studio album.[2] On May 3, 2020, the albums original title was revealed as "Beautiful Mess" on a billboard in LA alongside the official album cover and a release date of Fall of that year. On September 1, 2020, DeMartino released her single "Champagne Dreams" in September, which was originally intended to be the lead single to her debut studio album however, the song was scrapped from the album due to DeMartino’s decision to re-work on the album. In October 2020, she released the albums official lead single "Pretty Little Mind", which would then not be followed by another single until August 2021.[3]
In June 2023, following the release of her single "Heaven", DeMartino revealed that Paintings of Me was accidental and was formed due to her constantly writing new material.[4]
Promotion
editTo promote the album, DeMartino performed at Musikfest a couple of times. In 2020, she performed "Champagne Dreams" and "Not Today" virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5][6] The following year, she opened for German musician Zedd at the same festival and performed several songs from her album.[7]

It's an electro-pop song that features elements of EDM.[8] "Not Today" was released on August 13, 2021, the same day she performed at Musikfest.[9] Later on October 27, she released the third single "Immaculate" in which she described as a cancel culture anthem.[10] The fourth and final single "Broken Morning", a pop-ballad song, was released March 25, 2022.[11]
