about this song
Featuring funky drums and chill acoustic guitar, “French Exit” muses on leaving a relationship without verbally breaking things off. Often known in today’s lexicon as “ghosting,” the song uses the English “French exit” and the French “filer à l'anglaise” (“leaving in the English way”), both of which mean to leave without saying goodbye. The fact that these countries, historically rivals, use the same expression, serves as a reminder that relationships are always a two-way street and a matter of perspective.
