Release
On March 26, 2021, Nat Puff announced that she would be working on her debut studio album, T.I.A.P.F.Y.H., as part of an artist in residency program with an at the time unannounced group.[2] She clarified that You Are Not Alone Enough, the album previously announced as her debut, was pushed back.[3] Puff had another record planned, "a Sufjan Stevens–type project, a concept album about Seattle and King County and Washington state". One song from this project, "The Ballad of Marion Zioncheck" was included on T.I.A.P.F.Y.H.[4]
Composition

Michael Rietmulder of The Seattle Times praised the song "Pills & Good Advice", calling it "a masterfully ambitious suite, and loaded with twists and turns" and praised Puff's "era-spanning attention to songcraft and deftness working with a broad and contemporary sonic palette."[5]
