“Dirty World” is the fourth track from Emile Haynie’s first album We Fall, in which he relates his tumultuous attempts to love a woman who doesn’t love herself.

One of the few times that Haynie himself sings on the record, he admitted in an interview with GQ that this choice was unintentional. Haynie initially wanted Josh Tillman (aka Father John Misty) to sing on the track, but Tillman turned him down, stating something along the lines of, “Yeah, cool, I love the song, but I’m not going to sing it because whoever is doing it just needs to be the singer.”

Tillman later sung on We Fall track “Ballerina’s Reprise”.
