Songfacts®:

  • Julia Michaels explores her complicated feelings for her former beau on this muted, piano-led track:

    But maybe it's the worst in me
    That's bringing out the worst in you
    I know we can fix these kinks
    But the worst in me doesn't want to work on things


    Michaels explained on The Late Late Show with James Corben: "[I’m] basically talking about my last relationship and why it couldn’t work and why things just sorta fall apart, because you’re kind of afraid of good things and you just sabotage them all the time."
