Despite its upbeat melody, I Still Need It has a dark undertone. Frontwoman Louise Bartle comments on the track:
I Still Need It is about a failing relationship in my life – feeling someone slip away and questioning my own feelings in the process. There’s a mix of desperation and anger that still takes me back to that moment.
