It was released on June 24, 2022, through Roc Nation, [1] as the lead single from Willow's fifth studio album, Coping Mechanism (2022).

[4] The producer of "Memories", Chris Greatti, worked with Willow on "Maybe It's My Fault", [5] which was released on June 24, 2022, [6] and is the first single from Willow's fifth studio album Coping Mechanism. [2] It is Willow's first track since the release of her fourth studio album Lately I Feel Everything (2021). [7]
"Maybe It's My Fault", which has been described as pop-punk [8] and alt-rock, [9] begins with a riff driven by an electric guitar. Willow's vocals are wallowed. The song's melodious chorus contrasts with the prior verse's focused rhythm. Following the song's verse-chorus section, the end of "Maybe It's My Fault" showcases Willow screaming in an "alternative-metal breakdown", with an electric guitar solo. [10] [7]
Willow sings in "Maybe It's My Fault" about a speculative failure of a relationship involving her and another woman. She ponders over her role in the destruction of the relationship. [11]
The music video for "Maybe It's My Fault", directed by Dana Trippe, [12] shows Willow pacing around her room "as she moves... between moments of frustration and others of near-serenity". [13]
