Composition and lyrics
editIn an interview with i-d, Rosé explained the personal meaning behind the song and revealed that she was not able to sleep due to being "obsessed with what these people were gonna say about [her]" as opposed to what she wanted them to say about her. She also admitted to feeling "disgusted" about herself and being in denial as a result.[7][8]
