* ManualMisprint: The CD release of ''nurture'' has some alternate lines for the song "Musician" in its lyrics booklet. They're from an earlier draft of the song, and the books were printed before the lyrics were changed.

--->''Then they say, "Fine\\
Well, do what you need to\\
But I don't wanna see you wasting your life\\
Now isn't it time you get a job?"''

“You know I love you, so I think I should tell you, Porter,\\
This ride: isn’t it time that you get off?”''

** Porter also became a fan of ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' after being introduced by his fiancé to ''WesternAnimation/{{Arcane}}'', which convinced him that he wanted to collaborate with Riot Games. He was the one to make the offer, suggesting he make a short theme and accompanying animation for the game's [[MagicalGirlAU "Star Guardian" universe]] -- this came to pass, and "Everything Goes On" was released for the game's 2022 Star Guardian event.

* CreatorRecovery: ''nuture'' is a direct response to Porter's aforementioned CreatorBreakdown, partly driven by his insecurities of [[ToughActToFollow where to go artistically]] following ''Worlds''. While ''nurture'' retains the highly introspective tone of ''Worlds'', it features a gentler, more life-affirming, and prosperous tone that's just as much a reassurance to himself as it is the audience.

Added DiffLines:

* ArtistDisillusionment: He doesn't exactly ''hate'' it, but Porter has consciously distanced himself from his ElectroHouse roots before ''Worlds'', having found that the EDM scene during the early-mid 2010's became too over-the-top and artistically unchallenging for what he wanted to make, and feeling like that had he stayed in with genre conventions, the introspective, aesthetically divergent tones of ''Worlds'' he wanted to explore would have greatly suffered.
-->"At that time I was trying too hard to be cool and to be what I thought a superstar DJ should be. I adopted this rockstar persona – I was trying to be something I wasn’t. Who I was trying to be and who I actually was became too much to bear. I didn’t like my own music, or the music my contemporaries were playing at that point. I didn’t want to play EDM party tunes anymore – I wanted to be more introspective."
