Pitou's second album is called P2. Read as Pitou, or Part Two. "I've discovered a whole new side to my songwriting. My previous album, Big Tear, was a kind of cathedral I built, within which I could search for answers and find a place for my grief. But I see music as an important figure in my life, and it no longer felt fair to only turn to it with questions or melancholy. It was time to fully fulfill its role in my life and share all other aspects of life—other emotions, other sounds—with it. That's why I called this album Pitou Part Two. Or simply: P2." The material on P2 draws from a turbulent period, shortly after the release of Big Tear. "I found myself in a position of constant discomfort, feeling like all paths were suddenly open again, and I was frozen at the crossroads. I could remain there and continue to resist that openness, or surrender to it."
Pitou decided to fully commit herself to this crossroads, drawing from both the chaos and the possibilities. 2024 thus became her "Year of Experiment and Collaboration," in which she wanted to collaborate, to try things she might not otherwise have done. The year led to, among other things, starring in and creating the soundtrack for Malu Janssen's award-winning short film Barlebas, as well as musical collaborations. "It gave me free rein, and permission to fail. What I might previously have considered a failure suddenly became a valid outcome of an experiment. This shifted my focus from the end result to the process I wanted, the experiences I wanted to have. Everything that came out of it was byproduct."
