Background edit
Astrid S explained that the song is about "saying things you don't mean because you are hurt, frustrated or maybe angry" and the "ensuing regret".[1]
Critical reception edit
Robin Murray of Clash said the song expresses regret "in the sweetest way possible" and is "superbly uplifting, with the vocal veering between two poles of indignation and soft resignation".[3]
