On “Ivy,” Frank reflects on his mistakes and explores a failed relationship. With Frank’s vocals laid over melancholic production, “Ivy” is a heart-breaker of a song that could be seen as a sequel to his April 2012 track, “Thinkin' Bout You.” Parts of the song show Frank drowning in tears and filled with anger. In a November 2016 interview with the New York Times, Frank admitted to altering his voice in order to make it sound younger to better encapsulate the emotions of young love.
