In an interview with FaceCulture, Peters said that she always loved reading as a child, especially stories about female friendship, love, and loss from writers like Louisa May Alcott. She started writing lots of her own stories, but didn't start writing songs until she was 13.
Peters said her songs are very lyric-driven, and very focused on stories, setting the scene, and place.
"To write a really good pop song," she said, "I think it's a massive challenge. Because you have to be so concise and get this universal feeling across in so little words in so little time."
