Last year, Rodrigo spoke to Apple Music’sZane Loweabout her songwriting process and how heartbreak was a big part of releasing the song.
“I wrote the bulk of the song literally crying in my living room, and I think that it definitely has that feel to it,” she said at the time. “I was driving around my neighborhood, actually listening to really sad songs and crying in the car, and I got home and I was like, ‘Maybe I’ll write a song about this, crying in the car.'”
“So, I just sat down at my piano and plucked out some chords that I liked and it kind of happened that way,” Rodrigo continued. “But it was really, really natural and organic. [It was] very much me writing in the depth of my emotion.”
“The pain is definitely real in that song,” she added about the fan-favorite track. “I definitely think I try to approach recording all of my music from a place of emotion. I think the emotional performances are the best, even if they’re not technically the best sound.”
