"I'm asking for recognition that we have multiple selves without denying that there's a singular unit," Arca told Paper Magazine's Matt Moen of the song earlier this month. “I want to be seen as an ecosystem of minor self-states without being stripped of the dignity of being a whole[...] It gives me the feeling of possibility, to not allow for easy categorization. I wouldn't want to just go pop and I wouldn't want to go full experimentalist. That's where a nonbinary mode of thinking feels really fertile. It opens possibilities rather than collapsing things. Allowing for change without resisting it.”

"Nonbinary" follows the 62-minute "@@@@@," released in March. KiCk i has no official release date yet, but it's slated to include collaborations with Bjork and Rosalía.
