“Mixed Signals” is a track by Canadian singer-songwriter Ruth B., it appears as the first track on her debut album, Safe Haven. The track was released with the album on May 5, 2017.

In a track by track review with Nylon Magazine, Berhe stated:

It was actually inspired by a line that I heard when I was working three years ago at Marshalls. A little old lady was telling me about how much she was getting into fights with her significant other. But the one thing that stuck out to me was she said how even though this person hurts her so much and said some pretty terrible things at times, she would always set the table: “Even when he slams the door and drives away and doesn’t speak to me, I always set the dinner table and wait for him.” That just resonated with me, and I think it’s important that people know: You’re not alone and you can be confused sometimes about what someone’s role is in your life. So, I think “Mixed Signals” is just talking about how sometimes you don’t know, but you stay regardless.
