Background and composition
[edit]The song and music video were released on December 4, 2020.[1] The pop-trap song is about love, heartbreak, and triumphing after a breakup.[2][1] D'Amelio did not confirm speculation that the song is about her breakup with social media personality Griffin Johnson.[3] The music video features her boyfriend, Noah Beck, and her younger sister, Charli D'Amelio.[1] The song and music video are noticeably darker than D'Amelio's debut single, "Be Happy" (2020).[3]
Critical reception
[edit]The song was met with negative reviews from music critics. The Dallas Observer wrote that "D'Amelio uses grating electronic beats and tired, kindergarten grade rhymes to sing about the same kind of angry heartbreak that's been sung about since the days of the Dust Bowl."[4] It was included on a list of the worst songs of 2020 published by Insider, writing that it "sounds like a parody of a real song." It was additionally compared to Rebecca Black's "Friday"; however, the publication added that "except it's not nearly as catchy".[5]
