SZA acting as the speaker shares with the audience, which is her ex-boyfriend, how worthless and upset his actions have made her feel.

Although she doesn't name drop who exactly the ex is, she explains how worthless he managed to make her feel and how hurt she was because of him. She tells the story of how this one-sided relationship has left her doubting her worth and constantly wondering why she wasn't enough. In the lyrics, she uses the appeals of Logos and Ethos, and in the video, she uses the appeals of Ethos and Pathos to share her message. The usage of these appeals have made it easy to determine what her message is, making the appeals effective.

SZA begins the song with the line "Why is it so hard to accept the party is over?" telling the audience she is having a hard time dealing with the aftermath of the "party" which is actually her relationship. This tells the audience from the very beginning that she is going through something and that it is having a negative effect on her. As the song continues, there are lines such as "I get so lonely I forget what I'm worth / I'm so ashamed of myself think I need therapy" that tell us she is going through something that makes her rethink who she is as a person. Not only is she upset about the breakup, but she is also upset with the things she is choosing to do as ways to cope. These lines in particular say that she pushes her self worth to the side in order to feel good. She is changing what she believes in and who she is just to make the sadness go away.

Saying lines like "I'm sorry I'm not your baby mama / I'm sorry you got karma comin' to you" shares that the man she is with clearly has other things going on in his life. The line about not being the mother of his child forms the idea that he has other responsibilities, or other women in his life, that play a more important role in his decision making. SZA saying he has karma coming to him says that he is probably dealing with other consequences that have been caused by his actions. Other lyrics such as "We get so lonely we pretend that this works" is saying that even though they both know they shouldn't be together, they still are because they find a sense of comfort in each other. They would much rather be miserable together than miserable apart. Being told these elements of their relationship tells us that there is clearly a deeper connection between them and that is why it is so hard for her to let go.

The usage of the filter along with the switch from being with a group of friends to being alone creates a sad and lonely feeling for the audience.

Her waking up at a party at the beginning to her leaning off the edge of the building at the end allows us to see her development and how she has managed to overcome what it was that she was going through.

The usage of multiple appeals in both her lyrics and video have allowed SZA to effectively get her message across. She has managed to share what it was she had been dealing with when her and her ex-boyfriend were together, and how she is handling life after they have broken up.
