I have a feeling this could be about Jon.. is it just me?

[@_robin99]

not just you, I thought that too. Especially when she was explaining the "this night just can't end" line when she said there was one night when they were singing it together and she releated to that line the most. I'm assuming she's referring to when they recorded themselves singing it

[@katou-kun9086]

It is almost certainly. I don't remember which video of hers but she talks about this toxic, codependent relationship she describes in the song and says how old she was at the time. At that age she posted videos with him while they were still together and this song seems to describe it perfectly so

[@flamingoood3159]

What? Im not sure but how is it about him?

[@jesmens]

@@flamingoood3159 well it's a big speculation that it's Jon (but it's ofc not official since it's their business). But people guess that it's about him due to the correlation of dates of videos/events. Long story short, when this song was first made/released, in that general part of that year; Jon and Dodie frequently collabed/seemed very close based off other social media posts. But few months later, the collabs stopped and dodie had videos talking about cutting ties in relationships and being at a low point. And eventually both of them unfollowed each other on their socials. So yeahh

Amelia Mulder mine was nearly the opposite, i felt the same way she did with the original which was like "wow im so in love i want to be their person" so i was excited when the second version came out and i listened to it with the realization of that it is very codependent and not the most healthy.
