Composition
"Sabotage" was written by Rexha along Jon Hume, Michael Matosic and Greg Kurstin, the last also producing the song. It has been described as a pop ballad which displays a "straight-from-the-heart" lyricism and talks about how she sabotages her best moments. Rexha herself stated that the track is the "most vulnerable" on Better Mistakes.[5]
"Sabotage" is one of the most vulnerable songs on my new album, Better Mistakes. It’s just as beautiful as it is painfully honest. I admit to getting in my own way when things are going well. I know I am not alone in experiencing self-sabotage during life’s most precious moments, and this ballad is an acknowledgment that sometimes we are our own worst enemy.
— Rexha talking about the inspiration and meaning behind the song[5]
