Songfacts®:

  • Olivia Lane is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter originally from Houston, Texas who is signed to Big Spark Music. This song comes from personal experience. She explained to Billboard magazine: "I was running one day, and that's where I get a lot of my ideas. I was thinking about this guy I dated in college. We tried to get back together, but he just ruined it. I thought, 'I don't need another you, part two.'"

    "I went in with this idea of writing about a sequel to a relationship and not wanting to rehash it. I told my co-writer Danny Myrick that there were a couple of things we needed to put in there. We had to have the term 'basic boy' in a song, because he was nothing but basic! I also had this idea of having a rap in it. We did one version of it with the rap and another one without it."
