In a July 2020 interview for DIY Mag, lead singer Liz Stokes explains:

I think this song is about the careful dance you do when you want to get to know someone you aren’t close to yet. Where you make plans so that you can bump into each other but you pretend, even to yourself, that it’s not a big deal if you run into them or not. Those early stages are delicate, and there’s a lot of meticulous nonchalance involved. And probably some ascribing heartlessness to what is almost certainly obliviousness. On a Friday night, woo.
