"Dig My Heels" is about our resistance to growing and maturing on a personal level while in the context of a romantic relationship. When a partner challenges or encourages us to do better, it is much easier to throw up walls and stay in our comfort zones rather than address the parts of ourselves that need to be worked on. This R&B-infused electro-pop ballad explores the frustration felt on both sides of a relationship, with one side pushing for change and the other side digging their heels in the ground.

"Built on these eerie, hard edges synth sounds, in which you can almost hear the angst, Feren Isles lays down these rather lovely melodic lines, albeit steeped in melancholy. There’s something of the Depeche Mode about it, particularly the accompaniment, but the sprawling percussive beats and light vocal gives him very much his own identity."
