The song peaked at No.1 after hundreds of thousands of posts on TikTok used a snippet of the chorus.
Mitski is known for creating beautiful, heart-wrenching music, and this song is no exception.
Mitski brainstormed trying to figure out if there is something she has that she always will have.
The answer was not something physical but rather something abstract: love.
The songwriter said, “And [love is] mine for as long as I want it.
For as long as I don’t give it up or let the world take it from me.”
Why does Mitski use moon imagery in the song?
She sings, “Moon, tell me if I could / Send up my heart to you?
The song also has a connection to Mitski’s younger years.
Mitski’s father worked for the U.S. State Department, so she moved around a lot.
“But my love, mine, all mine, all mine.”
What does the final line of the song mean?
“I can give so much love and it won’t take away from me,” Mitski added.
“Like, it’s just this unlimited resource.”
