Background and release

Composition
"Maybe It's My Fault", which has been described as pop-punk[4] and alt-rock,[8] begins with a riff driven by an electric guitar. Willow's vocals are wallowed. The song's melodious chorus contrasts with the prior verse's focused rhythm. Following the song's verse-chorus section, the end of "Maybe It's My Fault" showcases Willow screaming in an "alternative-metal breakdown", with an electric guitar solo.[9][7]
Willow sings in "Maybe It's My Fault" about a speculative failure of a relationship involving her and another woman. She ponders over her role in the destruction of the relationship.[10]
