Songfacts®:

  • This song finds Mimi Webb singing of a relationship where everything goes swimmingly for 24 hours, five days a week. But on the weekends, her lover's behavior changes for the worst and everything goes toxic. Come Monday, he's back and wanted to be with again. Webb told Apple Music: "We should be able to have that time apart and still feel stable in the relationship - how do we make it work?"
  • Mimi Webb released "24/5" as her third single from Seven Shades of Heartbreak on September 10, 2021. She wrote the song alongside its Swiss producer, Fridolin "Freedo" Walcher, and with Sam Merrifield; the same trio also penned her breakthrough single "Good Without."
  • Webb wrote "Good Without" about her personal experience getting over a dysfunctional relationship. It's likely she penned this song about the same former boyfriend.
