‘9th of october’ is the twelfth track on Tove Lo’s third studio album, BLUE LIPS.

In a BLUE LIPS track by track interview with Fuze, Tove talked about the meaning behind the song and the date, October 9th:

“9th of october” started as a poem that I actually wrote later that night […] It’s about two people having this insane passion but completely just tearing each other apart […] I feel like it’s probably the most vulnerable one where I do admit to also making mistakes, not just blaming the other person.
