The singer refers to the self-love she seeks in herself. If she doesn’t love herself, no one else will be able to love her.
"'For me, this was a message to myself. I was feeling so under-confident with my work and everything. I think on the first listen it just sounds like trying to get a lover to love you, but it’s not at all. Everything is said to the mirror. That’s why the spoken bit at the beginning and after the middle eight is like: “If you can’t love yourself, how are you going to love somebody else?” That’s a RuPaul quote, so it makes me really happy, but it’s so true. I think that’s very fundamental when being in a relationship—you’ve got to love yourself first. I think self-love is really hard, and that’s the overall thing about this record: It’s about trying to find self-love within all the complications, whether it’s identity or sexuality. I think it’s the purest, happiest on the record. It’s like that New Jack Swing-style production, but originally it had like an ‘80s sound. That didn’t work with the rest of the record, so we went back and reproduced it.'"
