As the track progresses over five minutes, it evolves into a near-epic composition, demonstrating Dey's compositional range. Despite the stylistic changes, the lyrics maintain a connection to her earlier work, often painting vivid and occasionally disturbing imagery. For instance, the line \"not a person just a bundle of data points\" exemplifies this trend.\n\nThe album's tracklist includes a range of titles, such as \"shadow self,\" \"masterplan,\" \"fearless zone,\" \"emerging from debris,\" \"vacant lot / home,\" \"last night of the world,\" \"angel in the server room,\" \"unfathomable you / catherine wheel,\" and the titular track, \"universal will.\" The album is set to be released on November 6, with pre-orders available now.",
