“Habits” is a rebellious love song. Xie first debuted the single on her (deleted) Facebook post a few days before the release.
Xie is breaking boundaries in the music industry. The song is meant to be a powerful feminist anthem. The song talks about love, loss, and, romance the way she enjoys it.

[Verse 1]
I pull the shades back til the day is new
Obsessing all the time inside my moods
I sit here wastin thinkin over you
This cul-de-sac is not an avenue
[Pre-Chorus]
All these habits I been through with them
Throw ’em out but they always come back again
So I trash and try to ruin them
Kick ’em out but they’re right in my bed again
All these habits
[Verse 2]
Let’s roll it up and take another hit
This repetition is irrelevant
But in these sheets it still feels so damn good
It’s more familiar when it’s understood
[Chorus]
All these habits I been through with them
Throw ’em out but they always come back again
So I trash and try to ruin them
Kick ’em out but they’re right in my bed again
[Bridge]
I pull the shades back
Obsessing all the
I sit here wastin
Wastin and thinkin
[Outro]
Let’s roll it up and
This repetition
But in these sheets it
Still feels so damn good... shit
All these habits
