Music and lyrics

"Sinner" is an indie rock song with elements of post punk. The Guardian described the song as having "a keen pop sensibility on display" with "impressively stadium-ready axe heroics". [5] According to Rolling Stone, the track could be the soundtrack to "a bacchanalian orgy in old Soho". [4]

The song was written by guitarist Lizzie Mayland and is about their "relationship with London and where I grew up". Speaking to The Line of Best Fit they described escaping "prejudices" and coming from a place that is "small-minded socially". Moving away they opined; "you feel freer [to] be yourself and express your sexuality". [6] Speaking with Far Out Magazine, Mayland shared that the song was a "story of self-acceptance, and the longing for the past and present self to become one". [7]
