Background

The ballad was performed on acoustic guitar by Fike's character Elliot in the season two finale of Euphoria, in which he "serenaded" Rue (Zendaya). The scene received criticism and was made into a meme due to its length. The single version of the track includes lines sung by Zendaya.^[2]

The single release uses the same photograph of Zendaya for its cover art as "I'm Tired", a song also used in the finale released as a single the week prior.^[3]
