“You kissed my neck / Made our paths cross until the two lines formed a circle / And I melt with you, your red and my blue / Now I see the world in purple, purple,” she sings on the track.
Olivia says the song started “as a love song.”
“There’s a version of it on my computer that’s like a purely beautiful love song. We wrote about it and then forgot about it.

Later, Olivia says they added guitars and drums. When the song turned “into something else,” it inspired them to write other lyrics.
