In the depths of a tumultuous relationship, emotions run high and logic often takes a backseat. This song vividly portrays the emotional rollercoaster of a toxic relationship, where love and desire are entangled with pain and regret. The lyrics reflect an intense struggle between acknowledging the damaging aspects of the relationship and succumbing to its addictive qualities. Kehlani uses powerful imagery such as 'Don Julio' symbolizing the influence of alcohol in clouding judgment, and 'ra-ra-ra', 'da-da-da', 'ah-ah-ah' representing her longing for her partner despite recognizing their toxicity. The repeated use of 'toxic' underscores the harmful nature of their bond, yet also reveals her inability to break free from it. This song is an exploration of toxicity in love and its potent allure that can lead one astray from rationality.
