"That's right, you are not mistaken I was somewhat self-righteous, as I only demanded honest and sincere behaviour from others."

In May, during an interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe, Eilish and Finneas revealed they had a significant disagreement about the theme and content of their song Hit Me Hard and Soft.
They had been working on various song fragments, and Finneas felt strongly about a particular direction that night. He expressed, "I felt like we weren't capturing the true emotions you were experiencing. It seemed like there were emotional barriers," he said as both the songwriter and producer.
Finneas also discussed the challenging process of songwriting, noting that often the experiences you're going through in life end up being the subject of your songs. He recalled a moment when Billie was unsure of the song's meaning, saying, "I'd ask her, 'What's this song about?' And she'd reply, 'It's about nothing.'"
In the end, Finneas encouraged Billie to express her true feelings, suggesting they create music that addresses the emotions she may find difficult to confront.
