In an interview with ''10 Magazine'', Claudette said "My intention with ''Everything Was Green'' was simply to share my personal cycle of observation. My favourite part of releasing music so far has been the realisation that folks will interpret each song in their own way, and although the meaning behind my words are as specific as I can be to my experience, they can also be interpreted in so many ways and speak to people through their own lens." At the ARIA Music Awards of 2023, the Jeremy Koren (Grey Ghost) and Michelle Grace Hunder designed cover won the ARIA Award for Best Cover Art.

The Nāgarī script rotated the lines clockwise, so they appeared horizontally, and ended each line with a short downward stroke on the right. In cursive script, the three strokes were eventually connected to form a glyph resembling a with an additional stroke at the bottom: ३. The Indian digits spread to the Caliphate in the 9th ...
