Abrams’ creative relationship with producer and co-writer Aaron Dessner is central to Good Riddance. While the two collaborated on a few songs for her 2021 EP This Is What It Feels Like, Abrams described their dynamic on this record as “a very tiny bubble, which felt like such a safe space to work through what I needed to process in these songs.” This comfort is palpable across the record: There are moments that display an admirable capacity for self-interrogation (“Used to lie to your face 20 times in a day/It was my little strange addiction” on “Best”), even if others feel like a middle school lesson on writing a metaphor (“I’m your ghost right now/Your house is haunted”; “I’m a rollercoaster/You’re a dead-end street” on “I know it won’t work” and “Full machine,” respectively).In support of Minor, Abrams scheduled the I've Missed You, I'm Sorry tour. [5] It covered North America and the United Kingdom with 11 dates. It started on September 1, 2021, in Santa Ana, California, and concluded on October 20, 2021, in London, England. The tour also supported her singles "Mess It Up" and "Unlearn" with Benny Blanco. Karmo, Lauren. "Gracie Abrams is one to watch with heartbreaking EP 'minor' ". The Oakland Post .

When we first caught wind of Abrams’ music in 2020, we tapped her as “the next Lorde” – though Good Riddance does well in positioning the Californian artist in a place where her voice is standing out on its own.The EP gave us some heavier topics, treated with tenderness and openness (‘For Real This Time’, ‘Feels Like’); Good Riddance takes those high points and goes deeper. Abrams balances melancholy with optimism – providing the listener with numerous easy entry points to her world. Krol, Charlotte (July 15, 2020). "Gracie Abrams - 'Minor' EP review". NME .
