The song narrates the journey of a small-town girl who achieves success in big cities as a singer-songwriter, presented from a third-person perspective. It was written with the hope of sharing her success story and inspiring those with big dreams and plans that others around them may not understand. The song begins with a melancholic tone and transitions to an uplifting ending, guiding the listener through the protagonist's highs and lows. Various sound effects are employed to enhance the narrative and convey the settings, immersing listeners in a carefully curated soundscape. This song would be well-suited for a playlist featuring sad indie music, alongside tracks by artists such as Lana Del Rey, Billie Eilish, Dominic Fike, and Mitski.

The story's about wanting to avoid doing the dishes because you’d rather cuddle with your partner—while remembering how they saved you from a dark place by sticking by your side and giving you unconditional support. And in return, you don’t mind doing the dishes once in a while… just not right now. (And yes, by “doing the dishes,” I really mean putting them into the dishwasher.)

This song is dedicated to all the girls (and guys?) out there who struggle to trust people (men, mostly), to the point that it gets in the way of their love lives. I hope it reminds you of how safe and secure you’d feel with the right person, and maybe, just maybe, that you can trust again one day.
