Discussing the track further within the context of the self-titled record, she continues: “To work up the courage to write this, I had to fool myself into thinking I was writing about one of my best friend’s wedding. I wanted to say ‘You’re so fucking pretty’ in a sense of awe to her—because she is so beautiful to me. But it became so obvious that this is a breakup song. And that this record is so much about (although not entirely) that ending. I tend to have clarity in my work before I have clarity in my mind. So many times, I’ve written about something only to see it come to fruition later. I need to be careful about it. I presume it works the way that many things do: thoughts turn into words, which turn into action, which turns into reality. It’s not like magic or anything, it’s just how it goes.” flood
