On the funky and fun disco-influenced track, Sabrina sings, "I feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind/ Floatin' through the memories like whatever, you're a waste of time." She continues, "Your signals are mixed, you act like a b***h/ You fit every stereotype, 'Send a pic'/ I feel so much lighter like a feather with you out my life/ With you out my life."
