“Vortex” is the fourteenth and final track from Lizzy McAlpine’s third studio album, Older, released on April 5, 2024. The song describes a feeling of certainty that someday she’ll be able to escape this seemingly never-ending relationship cycle; she may not be ready now, but soon, she will muster the strength to let go. After posting the tracklist in March 2024, McAlpine revealed on X that “Vortex” was almost the album's title before her producers proposed “Older” instead.
