> Being a woman is fucking exhausting and it felt better to scream it into a pop song than scream it into the void. After the past year, I think we can all relate to feeling like we're losing our minds.

## Background

During an interview with DIY, vocalist Lauren Mayberry revealed that the band started working on their fourth studio album in February 2020. About the song writing theme of the album, Mayberry said that it was about "the marriage between the stuff that's purely personal, and the stuff that’s more imagery, and narrative." The group worked on the track during the COVID-19 pandemic quarantine. Iain Cook worked on it from Glasgow while Mayberry and Martin Doherty worked on it from Los Angeles. Mayberry noted that the song was the first track that the band wrote in the project.

The track was inspired by Mayberry's experiences of sexism. Mayberry described the track as her "way of reckoning with things she had accepted that she knew she shouldn't have".

## Lyrics

He said "you bore me to death"
"I know you heard me the first time" and
"Be sad but don't be depressed"
Just think it over, over and
He said "it's all in your head"
"But keep an ear to the grapevine" and
"Get drunk but don't be a mess"
Keep thinking over, over

I try
But it's hard to hit rewind
When I feel like

I feel like I'm losing my mind (feel like I'm losing my mind)
Feel like I'm losing my mind (feel like I'm losing my mind)
Over and over, I
Feel like I'm losing my mind (feel like I'm losing my mind)
Feel like I'm losing my mind
Over and over, I try

Oo-ooh, ooh, oo-ooh

He said, "You need to be fed"
"But keep an eye on your waistline" and
"Look good, but don't be obsessed"
Keep thinkin' over, over

I try
But it's hard to know what's right
When I feel like I'm borrowin' all of my time
And it's hard to hit rewind
When I feel like

I feel like I'm losing my mind (feel like I'm losing my mind)
Feel like I'm losing my mind (feel like I'm losing my mind)
Over and over, I
Feel like I'm losing my mind (feel like I'm losing my mind)
Feel like I'm losing my mind (feel like I'm losing my mind)
Over and over, I
Feel like I'm losing my mind (feel like I'm losing my mind)
Feel like I'm losing my mind (feel like I'm losing my mind)
Over and over, I
Feel like I'm losing my mind (feel like I'm losing my mind)
Feel like I'm losing my mind (feel like I'm losing my mind)
Over and over
I try
