Background
The ballad was performed on acoustic guitar by Fike's character Elliot in "All My Life, My Heart Has Yearned for a Thing I Cannot Name", the season two finale of Euphoria, in which he "serenaded" Rue Bennett. The scene received criticism and was made into a meme due to its length. The single version of the track includes lines sung by Zendaya.[2] The single release uses the same photograph of Zendaya for its cover art as "I'm Tired", a song also used in the finale released as a single the week prior.[3]
