“Moral of the Story” is Ashe’s farewell to a past relationship. It is the first release since her debut EP, The Rabbit Hole and the title track to her two-part EP series.

The track saw its peak in early February 2020, almost a year after its initial release, when it was featured in a pivotal scene in the teen Netflix film To All The Boys 2: P.S. I Still Love You. Genius said in its own article that the song “saw an immediate spike on Genius, skyrocketing from 268 [daily] pageviews to 13,152 overnight.”
