Composition and lyrics

An alternative-leaning track,[2] "Thought It Was" samples Semisonic's "Closing Time" and interpolates it in the melody.[3] The lyrics revolve around Iann Dior and Machine Gun Kelly becoming disenchanted with the results of fame and success, through feeling lonely despite being surrounded by people.[4][5][6] In the chorus, Dior croons: "Chasing the feeling in the hills at night / City of Angels, but it hurts sometimes / Finally made it, but it don't feel right (Don't feel right) / Don't feel like I thought it would". Kelly talks about taking drugs to cope with his loneliness.[2]
