Instead of accepting that her love is unrequited, she selfishly asks: вЂњTo spare my pride/To give your lack of interest an explanation/Don't say IвЂ™m not your type/Just say IвЂ™m not your preferred sexual orientation'.

Christopher Thiessen from Consequence of Sound mentions that Eilish 'pokes fun at her own heartache. The song's lyrics center on Eilish's frustration that her crush does not reciprocate her feelings towards him, and wishes that he were gay so they didn't go out with other girls over her.

In a YouTube video, Eilish and her brother Finneas O'Connell broke down the inspiration behind the track, with Eilish explaining, 'This was a situation where I was fucking all for this kid, like oh my god.
