Composition
I want you to know that this song was written during a toxic and incredibly difficult time in my life, but I’m singing it to you now with the voice of a woman who has completely regained a strong sense of self, rebuilt her womanhood, and is grateful to have learned so much.
— Kimberley Perry, [3]
This is a song writing about infidelity Kimberley experienced, who has been divorced with former MLB player J.P. Arencibia.[1][4] The song is written by Owen Thomas with the Perry siblings, and was described as an electropop[1], EDM work[5] featuring with quirky, industrial beat and club-ready vocal processing.[6]
Music video
The trio dropped the visualizer for the track at the same day of its digital release.[7] The official music video was premiered on YouTube channel on July 29, 2019.[8] Directed by Janell Shirtcliff, the video features with a mysterious plot beginning with the lead singer Kimberley Perry driving an old car, as to running away from the bad relationship. Three women with angel wings are spotted in the backseat of her car. She's headed to a secluded spot marked by her brother, all the while singing about a guy who broke her heart. Once the car arrives, all Hell seems to break loose — like the band have called on the forces of darkness to extract their revenge.[6][9]
