Songfacts®:

  • In 2019, Kehlani's boyfriend YG, real name Keenon Jackson, was spotted apparently kissing another woman while leaving a Los Angeles nightclub on Halloween night. Here, Kehlani addresses rumors about her lover's infidelity as she details the pain he brought her.

    You got demons, I got trauma
    We both got triggers, I hate drama


    By the end of the chorus, Kehlani is willing to put aside YG's cheating and move on with their relationship.

    You're still my love, you're still my heart, that's still my date
    Still wanna be Mrs. Jackson
  • Kehlani recorded the song at the studio on November 12, 2019 and dropped it on SoundCloud and YouTube channels without it being mixed or mastered. It was important for the singer that she release the track raw.
  • The singer's emotional unpacking led to concern about her mental state. Kehlani went onto Twitter to reassure her fans that everything was okay.

    "The fire thing about music is you can express the wildest and furthest parts of the emotions you're experiencing, even just the things the little back of your head voice is screaming.. or even the devil on your shoulder," Kehlani tweeted. "Flush it out and it keep it flowin."
