Composition

According to Beer, "Reckless" is about "how easy it is for some people in relationships to hurt others and move on without any guilt". She both co-wrote and co-produced the single. [2]

People have so much power over their partner's feelings, yet many still choose to treat each other carelessly. I believe there is a balance to putting ourselves and our feelings first, while knowing we have the responsibility of treating people with respect, kindness, and consideration. It's so important to find that balance in every relationship and knowing when to move on if you can't.

Madison Beer, NME

Critical reception

Reckless was met with positive reviews upon its release. Clash called the song "...a wonderfully adult piece of pop songwriting." [3] Hypebae said the song "demonstrat[es] her signature soothing vocals." [4]

Music video

The music video was released on June 29, 2021. It depicts Beer in a fairytale-like world where she climbs a ladder to get to the top of a stack of giant books; stands on the top of a car as it drives itself through a tunnel; and swims in an ocean with book pages in it.
