Juliana, in an interview for Goldmine on 20 November 2023, on “When I Was A Boy”:

I related to the song, growing up as a child with a dream of being transported by music, wanting to create my own music, and learning how to play guitar. It is a very touching song to me. I feel like Jeff Lynne is singing my own childhood feelings.
