The singer explained of the song, \u201cWe\u2019ve all been on both sides of the break up pep talk with our friends and we all know how good it feels to get your partner in crime back when they finally leave that idiot behind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added, \u201cIt\u2019s about friendship and love. It\u2019s the obligatory pep-talk you give your girlfriend when she\u2019s going through a breakup. You\u2019re reminding her she\u2019s your partner-in-crime and showing unconditional support. It makes fun of the demands of being a good girlfriend and the dirty stuff you do just to make him confident. There\u2019s a message to it. I\u2019m telling a real story that I think girls need to hear. You want to know your friends are there for you during a breakup. It\u2019s about all the fun you can have after heartbreak.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The track comes off <em>Sunshine Kitty<\/em>, Tove Lo\u2019s upcoming fourth album, which she recorded in Sweden and LA.
