Lately, I've found myself laughing at things I find myself crying at a few weeks or months later, and vice versa, April begins. She muses on the subjective nature of perception, highlighting how time constantly evolves, making each experience unique and impossible to revisit in the same way. This realization led her to conceptualize life itself as a disguise that can be challenging to see through and understand.

Collaborating with Fidel Carmona, the producer and instrumentalist, April expresses that both of them were unfazed by ordinary critiques. They viewed the creation of the song as a blessing, finding it relatively easy to write and seamlessly perform in Fidel's studio, situated in Tamborine, Australia. Reflecting on the production process, April shares, "The hardest part for me with this song was trying to get the French part right enough to be satisfied with it myself just to be able to hear it back." Despite her self-proclaimed brutal judgment, April embraced the challenge of incorporating a French bridge into the song. She explains her fascination with the French language's beautiful, mellow, and hushed sounds for singing. The decision to experiment with a language she wasn't familiar with became a journey reminiscent of her early recordings in English, marking a personal and artistic rediscovery.

April emphasizes the three pillars she believes are crucial for good singing: feeling, confidence, and relaxation. She acknowledges the challenges of balancing these elements, stating, "Depending on where you're at in your life, it can be very hard to find balance within yourself to master." Despite the difficulties, April shares how a strong sweet feeling at the time made the first point—feeling—smooth and the subsequent two—confidence and relaxation—were skills she dedicated time to honing as a singer.

In essence, "Love's Disguise" not only encapsulates the intricacies of love and life but also serves as a testament to April's artistic growth and commitment to pushing her creative boundaries. As she navigates the multifaceted aspects of her journey, April invites listeners to explore the depths of emotion and self-discovery woven into the fabric of her latest musical creation.
