Fortune Baby emerged during a period of personal transformation, written before the pandemic but released years later, after she had become a mother. She described the sounds as carrying unconscious Asian influences, shaped by her background and exposure, though not intentionally designed as Sri Lankan. The track’s visual component became the space where her heritage was more explicitly explored, as she used an old Macintosh computer and the pixel-art software Flying Colors to create imagery that paralleled her identity journey. For Lyton, the process of making the video was a way to reckon visually with themes of dual heritage, racial barriers, and cultural reclamation, even if the sonic elements themselves were less deliberate. She positioned the piece as an early gesture toward reconnecting with Sri Lankan culture, one that reflected her story of being in-between identities and beginning the work of creative reclamation.
