It was released on her brother Finneas O'Connell's birthday, July 30, 2020, through Darkroom and Interscope Records, exactly a year before the album's release. An R&B and ambient ballad with influences of soul and jazz, the song's lyrics address an ode to self-love and personal power. Eilish wrote the song alongside its producer, Finneas O'Connell.
The song received positive reviews from music critics, with praise directed towards its theme of self-empowerment.

The song peaked at number six on the US Billboard Hot 100, giving Eilish her third top-10 hit in the United States. It reached the top five in Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, and Singapore.
