Background and release
editCara changed her layout on social media in late June 2024 and began to post cryptic teaser images on a daily basis. She formally announced the song on July 9, 2024.[1] Through social media, Cara stated the track was about "a relationship that has come to an end and is like the last final grasp of trying to hold onto what is left of this relationship. Basically, looking at the other person and metaphorically shaking them and saying ‘I am really trying my best to hold here, but if you don’t want to be held onto then there’s nothing left of this’. I feel like I am talking to a dead man."[2]
