The track was written by Charli XCX, Ross Golan, and its producers Stargate and Benny Blanco.
It was initially composed by XCX with Stargate and later recorded by Gomez without the former in the studio at the time.
In the song, Gomez uses an uncharacteristic forceful, emotive tone and raspy delivery, accompanied by XCX on background vocals.
According to Gomez, the lyrics are a representation of various stages of different relationships and are about getting rid of everything toxic in her life, also inspired by her relationship with her father.
The video was well received by critics who complimented Gomez's styling and the emotional story-line.
