Inspired by ancient beliefs and indigenous wisdom, AURORA's journey has resulted in her fourth album, What Happened to the Heart? The album reflects her personal struggles and healing process, moving from vulnerability to strength. AURORA's exploration has included living chaotically, meeting contemporary philosophers and writing music in unknown and unsafe spaces.

The album touches on themes of feminine strength, mourning and the disconnection between heart and mind. It features diverse musical influences and collaborators, mixing primitive and modern sounds. Despite the sombre themes, AURORA maintains a playful approach to production, concluding that significant change requires explosive and heartfelt action.
