Olivia Rodrigo's song describes experiences of jealousy and heartbreak over an ex-boyfriend who is now in a new relationship. She reflects on shared memories and inside jokes they had that he now shares with his new girlfriend. She questions if he feels a sense of déjà vu and if he still says her name by accident when talking to his new girlfriend since the experiences feel recycled from their previous relationship.
