According to Billie Eillish herself, this is the first song that she actually wrote as a whole when she was twelve. She said that this song is about zombie apocalypse which she wrote in the songwriting class taught by her mother. She mentioned in an interview how her mother plays a huge part of she and her brother's songwriting habits by giving them assignment to watch a movie or show and jot down certain lines which they thought would be a good catch for hooks, titles or names. Apparently, she was a huge fan of The Walking Dead and had an apocalypse song in her mind which unexpectedly came out as a longing song.

"A longing despair, which wasn't my intention, but it happened. People really like it and it was weird, because I didn't care for it that much, and I just put it out because I wanted to. I don't know if it was that one or another song that I wrote about dying. Dark. Very dark."

I actually found the song while I was browsing through the YouTube and in the mood of melancholy, since it appeared on the suggestion list. Lucky enough I decided to 'give it a go' and clicked. As Ellie had said, it is a longing song so no wonder I felt a tinge of loneliness when I heard the melody alongside with the lyrics on the screen. Before I went through an article which interviewed the singer describing this song, I never really had an image of zombie apocalypse or anything fictional instead of imagining the persona of the song was trapped in a war and her loved one was killed. My mind was as simple as that. I thought that this song was all about fighting to live after our loved one had gone but in reality it turns out quite far from what I imagined. That is what a good song is all about. Same vibe but different interpretation to every listeners.

Her vocal delivery is pitch perfect and her vivid songwriting, laced with startling observation & the pain of being trapped in a difficult relationship, betray her youth. The line "When you walk out the door and leave me torn, you're teaching me to live without it"  pricks the heart but as the song grows she displays grit and resilience due to the trauma of the past events of her relationship life.
