SZA has said that this song is about three women, not just two, all of whom are being played by the same man. However, one decided that they did not care.

The song serves to empower women above the idea of a man as the center to all of their actions. In positioning all the women in this one man’s life as being aware of what they want from him, it diffuses his lies to them and makes him look like the foolish one.

The rather artistic and simple music video (released on December 21, 2017) is directed by Solange and features SZA in different settings moving to the song. The video also features words at the bottom of the screen that are not lyrics, but are still important to the song’s theme:

One opted out
An imbalance of power, shifted the whole tide
It waved
And waved

The cover art for the single was designed by SZA’s friend Sage Adams and is inspired by Henri Matisse’s “The Dance.”
