In a statement released with the new song, Allie X said that she wanted to convey what it felt like to be fundamentally "misunderstood" by your family while growing up. Allie X said "You know that they love you, but not for the full person you are. The relationship between a parent and child is so intense and layered, that it was liberating to put it into the simple phrase 'you love me wrong' and repeat it over and over in the chorus of this song."[3]
