Composition
The song was written by Selena Gomez, Amy Allen, Jonathan Bellion, Michael Pollack, Stefan and Jordan K. Johnson, with the production of the team The Monsters & Strangerz. The song was written and recorded in four days in a house in Palm Springs, California.[4]
In an interview with Variety, Amy Allen explained that the song captures "the overarching concept of feeling at odds with your own mind, the song just kind of wrote itself. It felt like a dream session because it’s so rare for a song to come out so naturally."[5] Gomez also told that recording the song was "therapeutic"[5] and "cathartic"[6] for her, and that she wanted to get the message that "if somebody sees me like this, then they won’t feel alone now".[7]
Critical reception
Jon Pareles wrote in a review for The New York Times that the music moved from "fragility to determination" and from "lone, echoey piano notes" to a "supportive march and a mission statement".[8]
