• "Walk" is Skye Newman's sharp, defiant breakup anthem about reclaiming self-worth after tolerating emotional damage in a toxic relationship. She recounts defending her partner at her own expense, discovering she's been deceived, and eventually reaching the precise moment when patience turns into self-preservation.
• This song follows on from "Out Out," Newman's song about an unmotivated partner.
  
  "'Walk' is about taking back your power when a relationship is no longer serving you, putting your heels on and walking away," she said.
• Like much of Newman's music, the song draws heavily from real life. She's known for writing with candor about her relationships, though she has declined to identify the individual who inspired this particular lyrical eviction notice.
• That habit of turning real life into lyrics has occasionally had consequences. Newman acknowledged that writing about a toxic relationship with an ex-boyfriend was something he didn't appreciate. "It caused a whole explosion," she told BBC Radio 1. "It was a song I wrote about us being quite explosive and toxic and he wasn't very happy. I do feel bad about it sometimes."
• Newman wrote "Walk" alongside Boo, Luis Navidad, and Chrissi. It was Newman's first collaboration with Chrissi, an Essex-born, Brighton-based artist known for blending confessional R&B with indie-leaning textures. Boo and Luis Navidad are longtime Newman collaborators whose previous credits together include "Hairdresser" "Family Matters," and "FU & UF."
