"The song is actually about, kind of like, those relationships that are never really done. You know, you always kind of have that person, that one person who you feel like might interrupt your wedding, and be like, 'don't do it, 'cause we're not over yet'. I think everybody has that one person who kind of floats in and out of their life and is never truly, like, the narrative is never truly over."
Do you have that person?
"Like I said, everybody has that person. Who, they kind of float in and out of your life, and I was comparing that to trends in fashion and things you see in pop culture that never really go out of style."
Does your person also sing?
"One of the things about writing music, and the only way that I can actually be vulnerable with this many people, is to never name names. So that's like, the one thing I have, where, I want these songs to go out into the world and become whatever my fans want them to be. I want them to picture their ex-boyfriend, not mine. And I know there's going to be a media guessing game whenever I put out music, but, that does not mean that I have to confirm or help them with it."
