This song is a cry to a higher power, presumably God. The artist struggles mentally, questioning if his lack of belief is preventing him from finding purpose. The song’s instrumental organization is inspired by jazzy gospel music. The sentiment of belief is also found on this album in “Nana,” where frontman Matty Healy expresses his paradoxical lack of interest in religion. Questioning religion and spirituality is a topic found in other songs by The 1975, such as “Antichrist.
