Background
[edit]Astrid S explained that the song is about "saying things you don't mean because you are hurt, frustrated or maybe angry" and the "ensuing regret".[1]
Critical reception
[edit]Robin Murray of Clash said the song expresses regret "in the sweetest way possible" and is "superbly uplifting, with the vocal veering between two poles of indignation and soft resignation".[3]
