Content
The song revolves around mental health and the impact of fame; lyrically, NF details his feelings and the challenges regarding his sudden success in the music industry, accompanied with his self-hatred,[1][2][3] as well as the consequences of his obsessive–compulsive disorder: "That means I might take a normal thought and think it's so profound (leave me alone) / Ruminating, fill balloons up full of doubt / Do the same things, if I don't, I'm overwhelmed / Thoughts are pacing, they go 'round and 'round and 'round".[4][5][6]
