“boy x” states a story of a boy who made the narrator feel special, but then got bored of them and replaced them, which is a usual thing for them. Boy x’s new love is a girl who acts tough to avoid getting hurt, but has fallen in love with boy x deeply and lets her guard down. The narrator begs boy x to not hurt his new love like he hurt her.

Through TikTok, McRae said that “all my friends cry to this one, so sad.” The song was originally 7 minutes but McRae cut it down for an unknown reason. McRae has played the scrapped part of the song on a YouTube livestream titled dropping my debut album.
