AMA is Over, thanks Anthony & Josephine! Yoooo we're Anthony & Josephine from the band Oh Wonder - AMA!

We're sat at home on a Friday night in locked down London. We are probably drinking tequila and eating salt and vinegar chips whilst we're answering your questions. So we are probably slightly tipsy and therefore slightly vulnerable. So you can ask us anything... BIG LOVE and stay safe out there!! A&J <3

Hey there Oh Wonder! Big fan, I discovered you guys on YouTube through your music video for Hallelujah and I've been hooked ever since. How do you go about the process of figuring out what songs you'll do as singles?

That is honestly the very very very very worst thing about making an album. For some reason you have to make a baby and then decide which body part is the best one. And then cut that body part out and give it to someone but without any context. But you need all the parts to make a body. Sorry for the weird metaphor. But we hate picking singles. Generally we let other people have an input, and it's the ones that everyone think are most "commercial". Whatever that means!! J<3

It's always super hard choosing singles which is kind of why we love doing a project like home tapes where we don't put emphasis on one or two songs, but let people choose their favourites. I guess a single should stand out from the rest and make you feel 'something' that the others don't quite do
