Mae Stephens Wrote the song If We Ever Broke Up to tell the story of Stephens' telling her ex-boyfriend’s father how his son treated her throughout their relationship
[Verse 1]
If you keep wondering if somebody understands
Darling, I don't understand you
If you stay awake at night waiting for somebody right
Baby, oh, your karma is due
[Pre-Chorus]
Like, I would never hate you
But only if you want to
So much time, like who knew? (Like who knew?)
Music we got into
Songs we fell in love to
Boy, this feels so wrong too
(Ah, ah, ah)
[Chorus]
If we ever broke up, I'd never be sad
Thinking about everything that we had
If we ever broke up
If we ever broke up, I'd call your dad
And tell him all the shittiest of things you've said
If wе ever broke up
[Post-Chorus]
Boy, don't gеt emotional
'Cause it's not personal
It's just the way, just the way it goes
If we ever broke up, I'd never be sad
Thinking about everything that we had
If we ever broke up
(Ha-ah, ha-ah)
[Verse 2]
You're living in Wonderland
If you think I'll understand
All the shit you put me through
If girls in white dresses and big winter weddings
Is something you want to be true (Yeah)
Then pack up your drama, this selfish dilemma
Is something this shit can't undo
[Pre-Chorus]
Like, I would never hate you
But only if you want to
So much time like, who knew? Woah
[Chorus]
If we ever broke up, I'd never be sad
Thinking about everything that we had
If we ever broke up (Ha-ah, ha-ah, ah)
If we ever broke up, I'd call your dad
And tell him all the shittiest of things you've said
If we ever broke up
[Post-Chorus]
Boy, don't get emotional
'Cause it's not personal
It's just the way, just the way it goes
If we ever broke up, I'd never be sad
Thinking about everything that we had
If we ever broke up

In an interview with NME, Stephens explained the story of her waking up on New Year’s Day to find her song had gone viral:
I woke up after my New Year’s Eve party, hungover, and I just got spammed. I was thinking, “This isn’t real, I’m probably just going to wake up in a second.” It felt like a fev...
