Songfacts®:

• "Walk Home" is about the urgency and passion of a new love. It's breathless, urgent, and deeply preoccupied with the kind of romance that makes you forget to pay your phone bill. Bon Iver recorded the track for Sable, Fable, an album that sees them shift from their usual brooding introspection to something more jubilant.
• "Walk Home" follows "Everything Is Peaceful Love" on the tracklist, a song in which Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon is positively giddy over a new romance. "Walk Home" cranks up the intensity, zeroing in on sex and desire. As Vernon himself puts it: "'Walk Home' is a romp where you can't wait to pull your clothes off fast enough and jump inside bed with your one true lover."
  
  It's not a subtle sentiment, but then again, neither is passion.
• Musically, the song is lush and layered. Vernon produced it with Jim-E Stack, who previously worked on Bon Iver's 2020 singles "PDLIF" and "AUATC."
