"Didn't Know What I Was In For" comes from Better Oblivion Community Center, the one and only album Conor Oberst and Phoebe Bridgers made under that name, written and recorded on the sly in Los Angeles over the middle and end of 2018 and sprung on the world through Dead Oceans in January 2019. The two wrote the song together, both play guitar on it and share the lead vocal.
Carla Azar handles drums and percussion, Andy LeMaster plays bass and Christian Lee Hutson adds eBow shimmer. The record around it is loosely framed as a concept piece about a fictional dystopian wellness facility, and it rolled out like an art prank, with cryptic brochures and a telephone hotline.
