Undertone by Julia Michaels Song Info
This song matches the themes of fear and vulnerability in previous songs on this album. Julia sings about how the memories of past lovers gets in the way of her current relationship. “It’s a situation where certain memories or certain people don’t allow you to fall in love, because it makes you scared of what the next one will be like. Of course it is sad, but I didn’t want it to feel sad. I wanted it to evoke a different emotion: What if we put some sort of pretty breakbeat underneath it, with these beautiful piano chords?“ - via Apple Music
