Commenting on the song's lyrical inspiration, WILDES said: "Drawing from the silence and suffocation that can surface towards the end of a relationship, 'Are You Gonna Speak?' is a plea for connection. Exposing difficult conversations but trying to inspire hope, it's a final cry for help before the moment ends for good."
The forthcoming EP, Kopfkino finds the two artists reuniting after St Francis Hotel produced WILDES' debut full length, Other Words Fail Me.
On her artistic relationship with St Francis Hotel, WILDES added: "Though regularly collaborating for various projects, we chose to come together for this EP because of our shared experience and grounding in the emotive meaning behind the songs. Exploring and getting lost in our own minds, being shut out of the minds of others, and trying to navigate the world at the behest of our subconscious."
