Samira spent her formative years growing up in Curitiba, Brazil, where her mother filled their home with the gentle melodies of MPB (msica popular brasileira), and her father introduced her to the distorted sounds of American punk. Samira first came of age as a musician in the Boston indie-rock scene during the early 2010s. Since then, she has worked with artists ranging from the jazzy pop of Mild High Club to the new-age dub of Pachyman, continuously adding to her repertoire of musical styles and honing her already distinctive aural language. What Kind of Blue Are You was written by Samira, as usual, but she is eager to point out how their strong working relationship and cooperation with co-producer Joo-Joo Ashworth had a profound impact on the record.

Joo-Joo and Samira grew close naturally due to their similar musical tastes and common aesthetic. When the two relocated to Studio 22 in Los Angeles in 2020, they spent the many months of hard uncertainty honing the tunes. Samira describes the experience as "feeling like I was making music in a dark cave with an old friend and there was no one else around." She was able to explore the essence of Winter in that space when she was cut off from the outer world, giving every musical decision a self-assured intentionality and a fresh sense of vulnerability.
