The singer said that the song is "like me unleashing a growl." Sydney Gore from Nylon commented, "even though she’s singing from a place of heartbreak, she makes it sound so seductive it’s like being the witness of something tragic, but you can’t bring yourself to look away because there’s an unspoken element of beauty about it."
