[3] [4] The song is featured in "Masquerade", the fourth episode of the show's first season.

[5] [6] [3] The song also peaked at number two on the US Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart. [7] [8] The song is about the darkness involved in a psychologically abusive relationship, combined with how traumatizing a sexually abusive relationship is to a person, continuing themes from the 2020 Hazbin Hotel song and music video "Addict". [9] [10] An official remix by The Living Tombstone, with a new Hyperpop instrumental and featuring Joel Perez as Valentino, was released on April 1, 2024, Angel Dust's birthday. [11] [12]
