Songfacts®:

• Jahseh Onfroy, aka XXXtentacion, had a troublesome upbringing in Florida which resulted in him regularly being involved in physical confrontations. Onfroy was eventually put into a youth program before being sent to live with his grandmother. This song finds him talking about his perilous mental state, which resulted in a vicious cycle of pain and anger.
• Onfroy ultimately apologizes to a girl for not understanding her pain.
  
  Never lonely when you flowin' through my mind, girl
  I apologize, 'cause I couldn't see the pain in your damn eyes
  
  Onfroy is addressing Jocelyn Flores, a close friend of his who suffered from depression. She committed suicide while visiting the Florida rapper and he later wrote "Jocelyn Flores" about her.
• The beat was supplied by Potsu, who hearkens back to his instrumentation for "Jocelyn Flores." "Guardian Angel" commences with a backwards sample of Shiloh's outro from that song before continuing with a reversed sample of the "Jocelyn Flores" chorus.
