Songfacts®:

• In "Underline The Black," Metric frontwoman Emily Haines sings about cutting herself free from people in her past. She has no animosity towards them, and she wishes them no ill will, but she's a different person now and has no interest in revisiting those times of her life.
• In an Uproxx interview, journalist Caitlin White asked Haines about the line, "I'm not sorry, I don't think of you that often." Haines responded:
  
  "That's definitely the zero f--ks given anthem on the album, which is something I actually found on the Skelton tour in Portland. I found these little ribbons like you would get in school when you did a race or something, like a little award that says, 'Participation award, zero f--ks given,' that I gave to my parents. But, yeah, I wish that I could do in life the things that I say in songs because even right now, I actually have a really hard time saying that. And I love people too much and I actually find that. There's a manifest destiny element of songwriting, where there's the sense it's almost like a mantra: If I write it and say it enough times with enough conviction and enough people listening, it will actually come true. We haven't been playing that song live yet so hopefully by the end of the tour, I'll be able to say that about some people right now I am thinking of often and I am sorry." >>
