On March 15, 2023, Bean asked fans through Twitter to help them decide between two songs, this and "Silly Worms".[2] Bean also gave the song a fake title, being "Little Jimmies".[3]

Theme[]
The song seems to be about "mourning" over your past self after you let them metaphorically "go" from past trauma inflicted by another individual. The narrator speaks on in the song how they mourn and "give kisses" during the morning for their past self and shield them away from the truth, as shown by the narrator saying they are "telling them lies". The narrator also speaks on how the person who hurt them acts like they never knew them at all, even though they did, and how the worst part was that once they "got down" it would "hurt like hell".
