Background and release
Jane released audio teasers of the song prior to the extended play's release, and announced it would be receiving a music video on the day of the single's release.[3][4] Two videos have been released: the official music video[5] and an audio version accompanied by lyrics.[6]
Music video
The video was released on April 19, 2019. It begins with Jane's friends having a sleepover with her and watching a movie. Her ex calls her on the phone, but Jane is not present, and her friends answer, saying that she doesn't need him. The song then starts, and Jane is seen dancing through the house with her friends in the bedroom, spliced with solo shots in front of a wall, and in some scenes she dances with a man strapped to a chair.
Composition and critical reception
The song touches on "listening to the same old, same old".[7] Billboard described the songs in the EP as "wildly catchy" and "old-school R&B with 2019 club-ready treatment".[7]
