The song is about "working on oneself before trying to help someone else".[5] Miller said in an interview with Bustle that she wanted to "write a self-love song that wasn't corny" with this song.[6]

The official music video for the song was released on April 11, 2019. The video shows Miller and 6lack "explore self-love" in a "pastel future" world. The video shows Miller in her home reading an advertisement in a magazine that says "Learn how to find yourself in the Dream World".
