Mescal previously dated Phoebe Bridgers. They first connected on X (formerly Twitter) in May 2020 and were rumored to have broken up in late 2022.

In "Ghost in the Machine," a collaboration between Bridgers and SZA, lyrics were thought to have insinuated that the couple called it quits. In February 2023, Mescal wouldn't comment on the status of their relationship during a Vanity Fair interview.

Abrams, meanwhile, was in a relationship with musician Blake Slatkin for five years. They collaborated on her EP, Minor, and worked on songs about their relationship after they had broken up, which was "awkward."

“We’d had a bunch of time together. … Our history, is what I’m saying, was strong enough to bear the weight of a creative process like this," Abrams told RIFF Magazine in 2021.
