The track was written by Eilish and her brother and collaborator Finneas for the soundtrack of Greta Gerwig’s summer blockbuster.

Finneas also produced the song at his home studio in LA.Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Eilish said: “I honestly was concerned that it was over for me.

We’d been trying and it wasn’t doing what it usually would do in me. I was honestly like, ‘Damn, maybe I hit my peak and I don’t know how to write anymore?'”Eilish revealed she was struggling to find inspiration to write other songs before the call came from Gerwig arrived in January.“Greta saved me, really, honestly,” Eilish said. “It brought us out of it and immediately we were inspired and wrote so much more after that.”Eilish said she and Finneas were in the studio writing after they first saw the film.“It was just a day of nothing.
