On “Glow Like Dat,” Brian reminisces about his ex. While Brian was still living in Indonesia, he was in a long distance relationship with a girl from Maryland, which he talked about during his May 2017 appearance on Pharrell Williams' Apple Music show OTHERtone:

I don’t believe in relationships. It’s kinda stupid for me to say because I’ve only been in one, and it was a long distance relationship. … I’ve never met her until now. But that relationship only lasted for two months. … Me and this girl, we were online dating for a bit. She lives in Maryland. … Basically, two months into the relationship, she broke up with me. … I felt so empty. I just had days where I would want to throw up from just being so sad. I wouldn’t be able to eat. … I even wrote a song from it, and I think it’s still my most lyrical [and] my most poetic song—it’s beautiful. It’s unreleased.

The single was released along with a music video that Brian co-directed alongside James Defina, which was posted on the 88rising channel.
